Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup The One Signature Rub
- 2 cups wood chips (hickory or applewood)
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare one side for indirect heat.
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and The One Signature Rub, mixing well to form a marinade. This combination will provide a bold flavor profile.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin and inside the cavity for maximum flavor. Let the chicken sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Once the grill is preheated, add the wood chips directly to the coals or in a smoker box on a gas grill. This will create a flavorful smoke that enhances the chicken's taste.
- Place the chicken breast side up on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Close the lid and cook for about 1 hour, maintaining a grill temperature between 350°F to 375°F. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh; it should reach 165°F.
- After 1 hour, check the chicken. If it's browning too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil. Continue cooking for an additional 15-30 minutes until done, depending on the size of your chicken.
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful chicken.
