First try at spatchcocked whole chicken

[jd76ers]

Tried a whole chicken spatchcocked with just a homemade rub. Used cherry wood and smoked at a temp of 325-340 for an hour and 20 minutes. Put a drip pan filled with beer on the deflector. The chicken was so juicy and tender and the skin was pretty crispy. Very happy with first attempt. Thank you to everyone that posts here that I got ideas from.
