How long to smoke 5.5 pound chicken?

Answer 1

It all depends on the type of chicken. Chicken Quarters are the norm here in Texas and we smoke them for 3 hours at 225-250 degrees. Every hour baste them with a oil or butter mixture and enjoy with a piece of bread and some pinto beans :)

Answer 2

I smoke mine for 2.5 hours at 225-250 degrees,but I check them every 30 mins after the first 1.5 hours and move them further from the heat if they are getting done too quick

Answer 3

it generally take 1 hr per pound of poultry at 195 - 225 deg f

Answer 4

For a medium-sized chicken, you should smoke it for about 4 hours. A good rule of thumb is one hour per pound.
