    I like it, but with a foul of such enormity that I mentioned, it wouldn’t fit within the confines of my smoker. Barely cleared by a 1/4" laying down. Beer-can chicken is always a winner, though.

      You can break it down into parts And cook them individually/ in batches

      They even easier to cook evenly this way, the the advantage of taking dark meat to the slightly higher temp it prefers.

      It takes some practice to look nice, but it’s a great way to save money on poultry if you’re so inclined.

      Alternatively, if you look for a Capon, they’re a larger chicken (technically a rooster that’s been snipped, so to speak, rather than a hen.) they’re smaller than a turkey and have a somewhat milder turkey-flavor

      These techniques are pretty uniform across birds.

        A worthwhile consideration. The bird only stays whole for the cook, but is served carved buffet style.
