Ingredients for Smoked Success

Before you begin, make sure you have on hand the ingredients that will make your barrel-roasted chicken an unforgettable experience:

• A high-quality whole chicken

• A marinade of your choice (herb-based, citrus, or your favorite flavors)

• Spices and seasonings to taste

• Wood or wood chips for smoking (such as mesquite or applewood)

Steps to Smoked Perfection

Preparing the Chicken:
Wash and thoroughly dry the chicken. If desired, season it with spices and seasonings to taste, making sure to rub them both on the outside and inside of the chicken.

Marinating:
Place the chicken in a container and pour your chosen marinade over it. Make sure the marinade reaches every part, including the inside of the chicken. Cover the container and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, or even overnight, to absorb the flavors.

Preparing the Smoker:
While the chicken marinates, prepare your J Barrel Smoker. Add the wood or wood chips of your choice to the designated compartment and light the fire. Allow the barrel to reach the proper temperature and begin producing smoke.

Perfect Cooking:
Once the smoker is ready and producing smoke, place the chicken on the grill so it sits in the center and is not in direct contact with the flames. Close the lid and allow the chicken to cook slowly in the aromatic smoke. Be sure to rotate the chicken occasionally for even cooking.

Smoky Flavor in Every Bite:
After approximately one hour, check the chicken using a kitchen thermometer. It should reach a safe internal temperature. Once ready, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest before carving.
