Step 1

When ready to cook, set temperature to 375℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

Step 2

With a large knife or shears, cut the bird open along the backbone on both sides, through the ribs, and remove the backbone.

Step 3

Once the bird is open, split the breastbone to spread the bird flat; this will allow it to roast evenly. Brush chicken with olive oil and season both sides with Traeger Chicken rub.

Step 4

Place the poultry on the Traeger, breast side up and cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the breast registers 160℉.

Step 5

In the last few minutes of cook time, brush the chicken with BBQ sauce and cook for 2 minutes more until glaze is set.

Step 6

Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
