The history of Big Green Egg smoked chicken dates back to ancient cooking techniques, where smoking was used to preserve and flavor meat. The Big Green Egg, a kamado-style ceramic charcoal grill, has revived this tradition, infusing chicken with a rich, smoky flavor. Renowned chefs and barbecue enthusiasts across the globe have perfected the art of smoking chicken on the Big Green Egg, from the southern United States to the Mediterranean. The key to this dish lies in the quality of the chicken, the choice of wood for smoking, and the precise control of temperature. For the best version of this dish, head to the southern United States, where pitmasters have mastered the art of smoking chicken to perfection.
