I have a 4+ lb. roaster that I want to cook up and I'm not sure how to cook it. I want to have tender tasty meat, a crispy skin, and a smokey flavor. I found a recipe for a Mediterranean style chicken that called for being cooked slow n low. I also found a different recipe that cooks the chicken at 500 degrees. Its claim to fame is that the skin comes out really good. Whatever recipe I use I plan on brining the bird for at least 12 hours and then I'll let it dry out overnight.
Can I use the WSM and get a steady 500 degrees? If I use lump and some Cherry chunks will I get a smokey flavor at 500 degrees? Is there a better way to do this?
