Step 1

Preheat your Traeger to high, following factory directions.

Step 2

Place the bird breast-side down with the legs pointing towards you, and cut up either side of the backbone through the ribs to remove the spine.

Step 3

Flip the chicken over, combine the oil and seasonings, and rub all over the chicken on both sides. Place skin-side up onto your pre-heated pellet grill. You can also place it in a pan if you want to catch the drippings!

Step 4

Grill on high heat for 30 minutes, and then turn the temp down to 325 for the remaining time.

Step 5

Check your chicken at around the 45-minute mark because it may be done already depending on the size of your bird! You want it to be at 165° no matter where you test it.

Step 6

Remove from the grill, let rest for 15-20 minutes, and then cut into pieces and serve.
