Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- Pat the chicken dry and rub all over, including under the skin, with olive oil.
- Combine salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and pepper and season the bird inside and out.
- Set the smoker to 275°F with apple wood chunks and place the chicken breast-side up.
- Smoke until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 160°F and the thigh reaches 175°F, about 3 to 3.5 hours.
- Rest 15 minutes so the temperature carries to 165°F, then carve into breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks.
