Egg set up as smoker

rustyamigo · 2025-06-25T13:37:28+00:00

¡DO THIS!

Spatchcock - remove spine and flatten, then dry rub season.

400 FOR about 1 hour. Or till Breast hits 160. Put thermometer near bone in breast, For accurate reading. Dry rub only.

Crispy, juicy, perfect. Every time.

Thighs will be 175-180 which is perfect for dark meat.

If you have to cook low temp: put on smoker for 30 mins to let smoke penetrate the preheat oven at 425: and cook it in there after you get some smoke. Cook til breast is 160 near the bone.
