    Mad Scientist BBQ - Whole Smoked Chicken - Recipe from the video:
    1 - Start smoker - Jeremy is using oak wood
    2 - Bring the smoker ambient temp to 225 (200 if using Traeger etc.)
    3 - Clean and pat dry whole chicken
    4 - 01:00 Trim chicken how you prefer - remove excess triangle/skin/fat
    5 - 01:10 AND 04:35 - Dry brine sparingly with salt and pepper rub (50/50 blend by volume)
    6 - 03:35 and 04:02 - Place whole chicken breast side up - wings toward the back on the smoker
    7 - 04:55 and 5:15 - PHASE 1 IS TO ADD FLAVOR - The Phase 1 cook takes on average 45 min to 70 min at 225F (200F if using Traeger) for your chicken to reach an internal temp 145F
    8 - 06:00 Around 145F internal temp of chicken turn smoker up to 325F to start getting the chicken skin crispy
    9 - 06:50 PHASE 2 IS CRISP CHICKEN - 15-25 minutes smoke the chicken at 325F until the chicken has reached 160-165 internal temp (07:35), then pull it from the smoker at 160F internal (08:25)
    10 - 08:58 Rest and enjoy!

    • @unsopken0623
      @unsopken0623 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      It depends on your smoker, grill, or oven; you will need to base it on the internal temperature of 145 F, not the time. Once it reaches 145, proceed to phase two. So after 45 minutes, if the internal temperature of your chicken still does not reach 145, extend it another time. In my case, it took 1 and 45 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 145.

Thank you so much for all of your videos. Pretty new to smoking and so far I've done a chicken, brisket, pulled pork, and ribs (though I did baby backs to start with) all following your videos and they've all turned out excellent.

    For those who want the short version :)
    1. Preheat smoker to 225-325°F depending on your smoker.
    2. Smoke chicken until internal temperature reaches 145°F. ( time will depend on your smoker so based it on the internl temp not the time)
    3. Increase smoker temperature to 325°F.
    4. Crisp chicken skin until internal temperature reaches 160-165°F.

    Hi Jeremy, really enjoy your channel. I tried your method of smoking chicken on my Ole Country Wrangler offset smoker yesterday. I had a package of four thighs, and a whole fryer that I cut in half to smoke. Total cooking time was about 1 hour, 45 minutes based on the temp reaching 165 F. as measured w/ my Thermapen. I have to say that the chicken was thoroughly infused with the smoke from the oak wood, and was very moist. However, even after raising the temperature of the pit to 325 F. for 15-20 minutes at the end, the skin was quite tough and not particularly crisp. It could be that this resulted from my basting the chicken at the end w/ Woody's Cook-In Sauce, a terrific marinade, that may have made the skin too moist to get crisp. But that doesn't explain the "toughness" of the skin, which I had to remove to eat the chicken. My wife, daughter and son-in-law had no complaints and thought it was really good, and maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but I actually prefer my method of grilling chicken which takes about half the time than this method of smoking. So, if you're curious, here is my method: I cut my chicken in pieces, season with Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning, and put directly over a bed of coals lowered to the lowest setting on my Cajun Grill (mfg. in Lafayette, LA by Percy Guidry (www.cajungrill.com)), for roughly 20-25 minutes per side, then flip to the other side for 20-25 minutes more. Of course, smaller pieces like wings and drumsticks cook faster and can be set off to the side of the bed of coals until the final basting. Then, after 40-50 minutes of grilling time, I baste each piece with Woody's Cook-In Sauce, and finish each piece over the coals for 5 minutes per side. This method of grilling chicken has been foolproof as I have used it often over the years, and renders bbq chicken as good as it gets. Woody's Cook-In Sauce is available at Albertson's and used to be manufactured in New Orleans, but after Hurricane Katrina the company shut down and sold its recipe for the sauce to another food company based in Reno, NV, where it is presumably made now. Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning is made in Opelousas, LA, and can be bought in many grocery chain stores, as well as online. Many thanks for the great bbq videos you put out! Cheers from Louisiana!

    There’s nothing better than tasting your bbq for the first time. You can see the look on his face as he begins to chew, it’s almost an uneasy look because you don’t know how it turned out.

    I was sooo happy when I saw you made a video about smoked chicken! I have been struggling with getting crisp bite through skin, and I really hoped this was the answer to my prayers.
    So I we got three chickens, roughly three pounds each (standard size here in Denmark), and did them spatchcock side by side. One was sprayed with apple cider vinegar and water, one with butter and the last one was not sprayed. They were done on my pellet grill, starting at 200f for two hours, and then finished at 330f for a good half hour until the breast reached 165f.
    The skin sounded crisp on all three when I tried to "knock" it, but unfortunately it was the same bullet proof leather as usual when we tried to chew through it. The skin on the one sprayed with butter was just a tiny bit better than the others.
    The meat on all three where excellent, but do you have any ideas on how to get eatable skin?

    • @RumandCook
      @RumandCook 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Could try a higher temp for part two. Also make sure the chicken is close to the smoke stack. If you have a second rack, put it up top in the hot air.

    • @tamatoa8261
      @tamatoa8261 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It could also be because you used a pellet smoker and not an offset like he did. I know that temp is temp and it should come out the same, but it might require some tweaking with the time and temp on your end.
      Well at least that's what I'm understanding after watching a million videos lol. I had to tweak how I used my Pit Boss compared to others. Plus I live on the dryer hotter side of the island in Hawaii and that affects my temps.
      I'm gonna try this on my Pit Boss and see if I have to make any adjustments. 🤙🏾

    • @gabrielbennett5162
      @gabrielbennett5162 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've been using a Char-Griller Smokin' Pro offset for close to 7 years. Yes, they're "cheap" but if handled right, they can still turn out some excellent barbecue. As for fire management, it's actually pretty easy. Start with your stack cap and your side firebox damper wide-open, then dump a full chimney of coals in your side firebox and let it warm up until it hits a few degrees below your target temp. Put your meat on the grill, throw a split or several chunks of your smoke wood of choice on your coals, then close the side firebox damper until it's only open a crack. Try to control the temp with the side box damper as much as possible and leave the stack cap open. As for in-flight refueling, once you have a good coal bed established, a little goes a long way. I just scoop up a few briquettes or pieces of lump charcoal and sprinkle them across the coal bed with a fireplace ash shovel when gaps start appearing, usually around once an hour or so. Add wood splits or chunks as needed, to keep the smoke going and keep a squirt bottle of water handy to deal with flare-ups. If the smoke suddenly disappears and your temps start shooting up, then your wood is probably flaming. Close your stack cap and firebox damper, then open the side firebox door and squirt the wood to douse the flames. Let it sit for a bit until the temp drops to where you need it, then open the stack up again. It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

    • @jasonochs8814
      @jasonochs8814 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a Char-Griller Smokin Ace (cheap offset.) I use Kingsford charcoal as a base layer. I don't use much; a small chimney size to start the fire. Then I throw on a piece or two of wood and use the vents and chimney to control it. It takes practice. As the cook goes on, I use less charcoal and more wood. The charcoal helps keep the temperature consistent and lights the wood very quickly. I also invested in a Meater probe. This is a must. It tracks meat temperature and smoker ambient temperature. Makes it so you don't have to always keep an eye on the temperature. My temp management has been so much better now that I can monitor it anywhere.
