OK, this is not the normal "how long to smoke a chicken" question. I understand that you want the meat to reach 165 or 175 depending on the cut of chicken. I plan on doing whole chickens.
My issue is not with not having enough time, my issue is having TOO much time.
I want to smoke a chicken and take it to work for lunch. I work an hour away from home and leave my house at 6:45am.
Can I smoke a chicken (or three) overnight, wrap in foil/towel/cooler, then take it to work?
Will I dry out the chicken by cooking it too long? The latest I can put the birds in the smoker is 11:00pm, I really don't want to stay up any later.
Any advice? Or should I forget about taking chicken to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
