Hi Everyone-
I am planning on cooking on my new 22.5 WSM tomorrow for the first time. I'm planning on a Spatchcock Chicken, mostly because its a reasonably short cook time to get my feet wet. I was planning on doing this recipe: https://heygrillhey.com/spatchcock-smoked-chicken-cherry-chipotle-bbq-sauce/
However, this calls for smoking the chicken at 225, and most of the feedback i've read on chicken says to cook closer to 325-350. So now i'm thinking about ditching this recipe, rubbing the chicken, cooking at 325-350 and then painting with regular BBQ sauce. Does this sound like the best way to go?
Many Thanks for the Feedback
