Buffalo Chicken?

[jamesq]

Any ever smoke a buffalo wing style whole chicken? Doing a friendly cook off this weekend and I’m thinking this would be a winner

So you would smoke the chicken and then coat it in wing sauce? I don't think anyone would have a problem with this.

success only comes from trials. Let us know how it goes with some photos.

Sounds like something I'd eat! I think since its the whole bird, make up a buffalo injection for it

I haven't tried smoking buffalo chicken. I have injected and then did it beer can style on my charcoal grill with indirect heat. Personally I like cooking chicken at a slightly higher temp to make sure that the skin crisps up.

Never done it but it sure sounds good!

These are very popular around here. Can't see why the injection would no work for a whole bird...JJ

I have to ask, did the buffalo sauce overpower the smoke taste?

Hopefully it's off the smoker by now.

Sorry about the late post. Chicken was spot on. So I injected the bird with buffalo sauce, mixed two gallons of water with two cups of kosher salt and 12 oz if buffalo sauce and let sit over night. Injected it again, sprinkled franks seasoning all over it and put it under the skin, then smoked it. It was so good I’m gonna do another one Saturday
