Grilled Whole Chicken with Poultry Seasoning

Ingredients

• 1 4 pound whole chicken
• 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
• 2 Tablespoons poultry seasoning

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the grill. Set your favorite grill to 375 degrees F using two-zone heat.

2. 2

   Season the chicken. Drizzle chicken with avocado oil and season on all sides with the poultry seasoning. I don't recommend rubbing in your seasoning because it will just pull back on the skin and your seasoning will clump together.

3. 3

   Prepare the chicken. Use butcher twine to tie the legs of the chicken together, then tuck the wing tips behind the shoulder joint.

4. 4

   Grill the chicken over indirect heat. Place your chicken directly on the grill grates on the indirect heat side of your smoker. Close the lid and grill for 1 hour. Open the lid, turn the chicken a half-turn for even cooking.

5. 5

   Drizzle with oil and continue. Drizzle on a little additional avocado oil and close the lid. Cook for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breasts reads 160 degrees F with an instant-read meat thermometer. (170-175 degrees F for thighs.) Optionally, during the last 10 minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce.

6. 6

   Rest, slice, and serve. Once the chicken has reached the correct internal temperature, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. After that, slice, serve, and enjoy!
