  • Rubbery chicken skin is now a thing of the past! In this video I'll show you how to smoke a whole chicken so it's juicy, tender, smokey and CRISPY.
    Step 1:
    - Brine the whole chicken for 4-8 hours using the brine recipe below
    - Remove from brine and rinse
    - Apply rub (recipe below)
    Step 2:
    - Smoke at 275 degrees on your Traeger, Pit Boss, Masterbuilt Electric Smoker, Offset smoker, weber kettle or whatever smoker you're using (This recipe works with ANY SMOKER because we're running at 275)
    - Keep smoking until the internal temperature of the breast meat is 160 degrees (I like to poke my instant read thermometer up through the cavity into the breast so I don't put a bunch of holes on the outside of the breast)
    Step 3:
    - Remove chicken from smoker or grill and LET IT REST at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Ideally we want the temperature in the breast to go back down to around 140 degrees.
    Step 4:
    - Broil on high heat in your oven for around 8-15 minutes until the skin is crispy and has the color you want.
    Step 5:
    - Slice and serve
    Rub Recipe:
    2 Tbsp Paprika
    2 Tbsp Chilli Powder
    1 Tbsp Onion Powder
    1 Tbsp CORN STARCH (the secret ingredient to crispy chicken skin!)
    NO SALT (We have enough salt from the brine - If you're not brining, add 1 Tbsp Kosher course grain salt)
    Brine Recipe:
    16 Cups (1 Gallon) of water
    1 Cup Kosher (Course Grain) salt

    Your work is fantastic no matter what anyone says.... this is a science that is always different for the mad scientist behind the smoker... this is what makes it fun. For someone who is always looking for great ideas, you've helped me not only have fun, but put on my mad scientist chef hat - thank you. BTW, my wife loves the cooking!!

    If crispy skin is your thing, look up the technique of pouring boiling water on the skin before you cook the bird. Just search and you will find the easy technique. It would be cool for you to give this a try in a new video and do a side by side comparison and see how it turns out.

    Have you tried spatchcocking the chicken to get it to cook more evenly? Works pretty well for me. Easy to do.

    Hi Smoke Trails BBQ, I just mixed up the rub as described (with some minor changes) - this nailed it. seriously. I have smoke lots of poultry over the years, but this might be the best. Very well done!! The corn starch might just be the secret ingredient - very cool.

      I have one on now and will be doing just that. No doubt the convection will result in more even crisping without burning the breast. Torch on standby too.

    Quick question: could you let the bird rest once it hits 160, let the temp come down, and then blast it for an extra 10-15 on 325-350 ish on the smoker? Wondering if this will affect the skin in any way.

  • @davebevin
    @davebevin 2 роки тому +4

    Usually always go with your methods but for whole chickens I think the mad scientists method might be better. 225 for 2 hours then 325 or higher for 15-20mins. 50/50 salt and pepper. Turned out amazing. Still love your videos though!

    People don't realize that there is no reason to cook the chicken to 165 (or even 160). There is no magic temperature for pasteurizing chicken. The 165 is used in order to idiot proof the recipe (necessary when dealing with the public), because it is the temperature where the pasteurization curve hits zero. In other words, bacteria are killed instantly. You can achieve the same results at lower temperatures by just holding the temperature for the required amount of time. I typically use 148 which is handy because the required time is 5 minutes, so I set my alarm for 148 and then start a timer for at least 5 minutes. When the timer goes off, I'm good to go and the temp is usually around 150. The pasteurization tables are available from the government.

      150 is fine if you hold it at that temp for 10 mins. 165 is overcooked.

    I'm sorry but the chicken you put under the broiler would never pass the test with my wife. Even if it doesn't taste burnt the black skin would turn her totally off. And I REALLY don't want that to happen. I will although keep your tip on corn starch in the rub in mind.
