Prep Time: 5 MINUTES
Cook Time: 1 HOURS
Pellets: MESQUITE
Serves 4
MAIN
| 2 1/4 kg | whole chicken |
| As Needed | Traeger Chicken Rub |
| 1 Can | beer |
Steps
- Tuck the wing tips back and truss the chicken legs together. Season chicken generously with Traeger Chicken Rub, including the cavity.
- Open the can of beer and set the chicken on top of the beer. Make sure all but the bottom 1-1/2” of the beer can is in the cavity of the chicken.
- When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ (175 C) and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Place chicken on a sheet tray and place directly on the grill grate. Cook for 60-75 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 165℉ (75 C) in the thickest part of the breast.
- Remove from the grill and let rest 5-10 minutes before carving. Serve. Enjoy!
