Chicken Questions


Question: When we smoke cut up chickens! Do we follow the same recipe and method as awhole chicken?

Answer: Cut up chickens will take slightly less time than a whole chicken in most cases. Chicken quarters which is basically the leg and thigh attached together is great to smoke. These will require about 3.5 to 4 hours at 225-240 degrees.

You can sometimes smoke them a little hotter (250-275 or more) to crisp up the skin. This speeds up the cook time considerably and in Willy's opinion does not affect the quality of the end product.

Just a few tips on Smoking Chickens.

And that is what's Cooking at Hillbilly Willy's Today.
