Chicken on a WSM 22.5 ... How long?

[lostclusters]

I am going to cook spatchcocked chickens on a WSM 22.5 today at 325 degrees f. I will probably brine. How much time should the cook take?

I would go a little hotter. 350-375*. That will give you a more crispy skin. The cook should take about an hour and a half. Give or take. The higher the temp the shorter the cook.

Definitely go hotter as mentioned above. I would start checking internal temps at an hour. Also, cook it indirectly, putting some HD foil on the grate below to catch the drippings to avoid a big mess to clean up.

Hour and a half give out take at 325. This is just a base line. I'd check it at 45 min and every 15 min
afterwords.

Plan on two hours from lighting the coals. 325° is a minimum. The brine may affect your skinn depending on temp.

What Jon Solberg said. Trust me he has cook enough chicken to know. We don't called him the Chicken King for nothing. 😊
