Ingredients for Smoky Success

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

• A high quality whole chicken.
• Marinade of your choice (can be herbal, citrus, or your favorite flavors).
• Spices and seasonings to taste.
• Firewood or wood chips for smoking (such as mesquite or apple wood).

Steps to Smoky Perfection

1. Chicken Preparation : Wash and dry the chicken completely. If desired, you can season the chicken with spices and seasonings to taste, making sure to rub them on both the outside and inside.

2. Marinating : Place the chicken in a container and pour the marinade of your choice over it. Make sure the marinade reaches every corner, 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.

3. Preparing the Smoker Barrel : While the chicken is marinating, prepare your J Barrel Smoker. Add your chosen firewood or wood chips to the designated compartment and light the fire. Let the barrel reach the appropriate temperature and generate smoke.

4. Perfect Cooking : Once the Smoker Barrel is ready and generating smoke, place the chicken on the grill so it's in the center and not in direct contact with the flames. Close the barrel lid and allow the chicken to cook slowly in the aromatic smoke. Be sure to turn the chicken occasionally for even cooking.

5. Smoky Flavor in Every Bite : After about an hour, check the chicken's doneness using a cooking thermometer. It should reach a safe, proper internal temperature. Once it's done, remove the chicken from the smoker barrel and let it rest before carving.
