Olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and creole seasoning. Cooked for 50 minutes at 375-400 over charcoal and maple. Pulled once it hit 160 internal, basted with half a stick of butter and put it in the oven at 170 for 15 minutes to rest while I finished the sides. Nothing fancy, cheddar rice topped with cheese, and French style green beans with butter.

It did not leap off the grill onto my face. I was still nervous every time I opened the lid.

    Looks awesome, and ngl I’d smash that rice with a Kraft single melted on top. But those beans are a crime

    Well, now you’ll never cook chicken any other way.

    For whole chickens I would pull at 155- they hold so much heat and will easily cook up to temp while resting. Keeps them xtra juicy

    Spatchcock! It’s the way it’s done. Remove the wishbone prior, and if you have a good knife and steady hand, the ribs prior to the smoke. You’ll thank me or someone later! B
