Weber Smoked Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of onion powder
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
- Wood chips for smoking (hickory or applewood)
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat and giblets from the cavity.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of paprika, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry rub mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Prepare the grill for indirect smoking by heating one side of the grill to medium-high heat and leaving the other side unlit. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes, then drain.
- Once the grill is ready, place the wood chips directly on the charcoal or in a smoker box on a gas grill. Place the chicken on the unlit side of the grill, away from the direct heat.
- Close the lid and smoke the chicken at a temperature of 250-275°F for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh and breast.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve and enjoy!
