How to Smoke Chicken on a Pit Boss Pellet Grill

I smoked a whole chicken and smothered it in BBQ sauce. I smoked this whole chicken at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I seasoned it with an all purpose seasoning and then killer hogs bbq seasoning. I glazed this smoked whole chicken once it hit an internal temp of 155 degrees. I let it roll till it reached 165 in the breasts and 175 in the dark meat. I let it rest for a few minutes then I ripped this bird apart with my bare hands and smashed on it for a good couple days because I'm fat and I like to eat chicken. I hope this smoked BBQ Chicken recipe blesses you and your family. ENJOY!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha yeah I sure did lol

[@madcow5150]

I just love your videos! Love the glaze,, love how you enjoy your cooking,, Well Done Sir!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thank you very much!

[@Rattletrap2]

I swear, you were about to choke that chicken! LOL

[@Grimreaper240sx]

Great vid. I’m about to make one tomorrow. Keep the great videos coming

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thank you! I plan on doing so

[@rtcoleman3626]

Nice chicken man I'm getting ready to fire up my Pit Boss I got me an Amish chicken and I got some sweet baby rays and I got some apple cider vinegar and some killer Hogs BBQ I love that stuff and that's the way I do my chicken dude excellent job you made me hungry I got to fix one now🇺🇸👍👍💯🇺🇸

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha nice! Sounds like you got a good dinner coming in lol

[@TheGAMEGod_YT]

I live in the area Nick. If you ever wanna collab let me know

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I'll keep that in mind!

[@DSConstructionLLC]

is your hose bud upside down

[@Nicks-BBQ]

What hose? I filmed this a long time ago can't remember what ur talking about

[@bcjag72]

Nice job looks good

[@mikehawk8886]

Going to try this tomorrow

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Awesome hope it goes well

[@EfraimGraber]

Was this indirect heat? I see you had the grate on the bottom closed. Just confirmed cause I wanna make this this week

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Yeah smoking is always indirect heat. I had the grate closed on my pit boss.

[@MaryLysic]

WHAT ABOUT THE BRINE?! NEVER smoke a chicken without brining first! You didn't tuck the wings under or tie the legs. And instead of poking all those holes in it with the instant read thermometer, why not just use a leave in probe? Your Pit Boss already has the ports for them.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I don't always brine chicken when I smoke it. Don't think it's necessary all the time. Will it help make it more tender? Sure. It also adds a lot of time and prep to the recipe. Which is why I sometimes omit that step because I don't think it's crucial. Not overcooking the chicken is what's crucial. As to your other comments. There are many methods to get to a cooked whole chicken. If you want to tuck wings and tie legs go for it. My goal here was to show you seasoning and flavor and method. Hope this helps. As for the pitboss comment I've noticed it's not accurate.

[@DO0DMISTER]

Great video, Nick! (and Mrs. Nick), this gave me confidence to finally try smoking a whole chicken this weekend!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Glad the video helped you! Happy smoking!

[@amyfurr563]

Same here! I just bought a Pit Boss this Sat. I will be smoking a chicken this by this next weekend for sure!!

[@lisaperantoni]

Did you let it rest for a little bit?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Just enough to cool down. Like 15 mins

[@joebest3590]

at first i thought he way over seasoned it . then i saw the finished product. may be the best looking one i have ever seen

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks so much for the compliment!

[@thomashenry6700]

He might cry!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Hahaha just might!

When eat don’t smack eating

[@Nicks-BBQ]

It used to be a serious problem but I got better I promise lol

[@keithburton3713]

I thought this Gavone was going to eat his finger

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I got it stitched back on

[@angelsmark2010]

Whatever

[@thescrolls9190]

Real Americans don’t remove the tail 🇺🇸

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Pretty sure I'm an American lol

[@chuckhansen5325]

I could tell when you were eating that chicken wing that your skin was not crisp and was gummy. That sux doesn't it.

[@chuckhansen5325]

But was a good video. Look forward to watching more. That was the first one I've seen and I know it's a couple yrs old

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I don't remember anything about this chicken lol. Made it a few years ago. When I smoke chickens I go low and slow to get a good smoke flavor in the meat because I use a pellet grill. If I had an offset I could run the temp higher to get a crisper skin. However, the only time I really feel a skin is actually crispy is direct heat cooking. Like over coals or broiled.

[@chuckhansen5325]

I understand that. I just cooked a whole chicken on an electric smoker cause i didn't want to fire up my reverse flow offset It has a place for wood chips. But I can't get it hot enough to crisp the skin either. 280 to 300 is all I can get it up to. Then I put it in the oven on broil to crisp up the skin but sometimes that don't even work. I said it sux cause I know the feeling

[@AntonioSmith-zk4ty]

That is an oil gland not its tail😂

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Oil gland??? I've had like 20 people comment on here ND say it's the tail lol

[@AntonioSmith-zk4ty]

@@Nicks-BBQ Those 20 never worked in a chicken plant as a mechanic who worked on the machine that cuts these things off the chicken genius

[@AntonioSmith-zk4ty]

@FoodWithNick The chickens tail is the feathers. Once the feathers are removed the oil gland is exposed.

[@eriksiphone]

Never rinse your chicken. Good way to spread salmonella. Painful to watch.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Never got it before

[@katiecrosby1187]

You made this one fun with your great commentary! Thanks!

[@poorman68]

"This is the tail, the other thing was probably its neck". This guy is a comedian and a great chef! I will be doing this in about an hour.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I hope it goes well!

[@glennshimabuku7990]

Loved watching you eat the chicken. Looks delicious. Getting my Pit Boss 850 tomorrow.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks Glenn. That's a good one. Hope you like it!

[@masterplasma7056]

I'm trying this as we speak and tell your wife she was right lol

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Hope it turned out great! I'll tell her lol I'm sure she'll be happy.

[@MikeHF]

You lost me at Sweet baby Rays. Make your own sauce! Way better than anything you buy in the store!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Yeah I agree. Do you make your own mayo too? Make your own bread? Anything from the store is processed and lesser quality. Don't have time for that. You can follow the recipe and use your own sauce I won't be offended lol

[@johnredden454]

You're a nut 🤣🤣 chicken looked delicious! I'm doing it!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha thanks. Hope it turns out great for ya

[@ryancarroll2369]

Nice job Nick! I have been wanting to see a video on a whole chicken!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks! That bird turned out epic!

@@Nicks-BBQ seriously though bro you videos are awesome. My wife and I bought the Austin XL about a month ago and love it and have been trying almost all of your recipes. Just wanted to give you some early feedback as your channel continues to grow. You have a great natural personality and your live reactions are priceless.

I’ve got a whole chicken smoking right now. I just made some of your glaze. Hope it turns out like yours.

[@justreallybored6014]

Washing chicken is not a thing people do, its an old wives tale.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I only do it cause I'm just really bored... hahah. I do it sometimes sometimes I don't.

[@pookei88]

That bbq rub makes such a beautiful mahogany glow.

Indeed does!

Lots of chicken smoking vids out there, this one is tops. Great tip on the bbq sauce glazing!

[@stevenhutton837]

Let it rest 20 minutes. Even better!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Great advice thank you!

[@jaygawronski8686]

Dark meat/legs toward heat is the general rule when cooking a whole chicken

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

great color on that bird

[@jimdingle4521]

"I let it rest for a few minutes then I ripped this bird apart with my bare hands and smashed on it for a good couple days because I'm fat and I like to eat chicken." Per the video description....lmao me too

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha glad to have humored you

[@cynthiahowell31]

The Pit Boss is heating up right now. Watching you just now gave me the confidence I needed to put on a 5# bird that is organic and cost a fortune...didn't want to ruin it. Thank you.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

No problem! It'll be delicious!

[@chrismoskal524]

You didn’t share that with your family! Don’t you be lying to us. Lol. You ate half of it on camera!!! Lol. It does look good though.

[@kevinseymour7796]

Here we go uh again queere guys trying to teach BBQ, please quit trying to cook on a pit and get back to the oven in the kitchen.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I love your support for my dreams and passions. You're my number one fan!

[@marco785]

Brother that 1st layer of seasoning was pointless lol whoa….. u dnt care bout the thighs temp??? 🤢🤮. Pink slime!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Dark meat on a chicken will reach over 165 before white meat does everytime. That's why I say pull it when the breast gets its internal temp and don't worry about the dark meat.
