My first attempt at smoking a whole chicken went over like gangbusters!!!
First off, I am grilling with the electric Old Smokey, so this may not jive with charcoal, gas and/or smokers with vent and exhaust.
Whole Chicken was 4.32 lbs. Gave it a good homemade rub (found here: http://www.texascooking.com/recipes/dryrub.htm) and smoked it with a handful of water-soaked apple chips at 225*. It took exactly one hour to reach 180* internal. I lifted off and rested in foil for 1/2 hour.
My wife and I devoured it (mostly me). It was the juiciest chicken I have ever eaten in my life.
Old Smokey rules!
