Optional: Stuff the cavity of the bird with garlic cloves, onion, and lemon (cut up).

Next tie up the wings and legs to get them closer the body of the chicken so they don’t dry out or overcook.

5

Place on smoker for one hour. Then, after one hour, increase temperature of the smoker to 350 degrees, and leave until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the bird reads 165 degrees (this could take up to another hour depending on the size of your bird).
