Spatchcock Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken 

  • Tracy Lawrence’s All Natural Marinade 

  • TL’s All Natural Seasonings 

  • Apple juice (for basting, optional) 

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Spatchcock the chicken by placing it breast-side down and removing the backbone using kitchen shears. Flip the chicken over and press firmly on the breastbone until flattened. 

  2. Season and Inject:
    Pour Tracy Lawrence’s All Natural Marinade into a separate bowl or cup. Using the included injector, inject the marinade throughout the chicken for maximum flavor distribution. Season generously with TL’s All Natural Seasonings.
    TL Tip: Tracy likes to inject approximately 3 times into each breast and 1–2 times into each leg.

  3. Cook:
    Preheat smoker to your desired temperature (typically 250–275°F). Place the chicken on a wire rack and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part of the breast.
    TL Tip: Tracy likes to lightly spray the chicken with apple juice throughout the cook to help keep the skin moist and enhance color.

  4. Rest and Serve:
    Remove the chicken from the smoker and allow it to rest for several minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
