Smoking usually doesn't need much but I do it with turkey because of the size. I use the same method of cutting the back out of them too so the skin gets a good crisp to it.
Depends on how much time I have before cooking the chicken.

- Yes. I use something very simple like dormerson said below. I also smoke mine - TampaIrish - 8:31am 11/19/20
- Normally we roast one and deep fry one, but won't have the huge gathering so not deep frying this yr - TakethetrainKnute - 9:59am 11/19/20
- I tried deep frying one. Not a fan of it. Now the deep fryer has become my crab boil pot. [NT]

- My BIL got it down to a science. Injects all sorts of flavors into the bird. Comes out great... - TakethetrainKnute - 10:22am 11/19/20

- Brining is great, mashed potatoes is probably the favorite side dish. - wrdomerson - 6:42am 11/19/20
- Brine is similar to yours...usually toss in some garlic apple cider and cranberries as well. - TakethetrainKnute - 10:52am 11/19/20
- It's entirely possible that it has ACV in the brine - wrdomerson - 12:22pm 11/19/20

- Indeed. Try a splash of apple cider or ginger ale for some sweetness in addition to sugar. [NT]
