Rated 4 out of 5 by fgkg from Good This was pretty good. We'd make it again. We enjoyed the leftovers very much the next day. The cold chicken an awesome midnight snack too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Feta from Smoked Chicken Smoking chicken and duck are the way to go. Meat is moist and falls off of the bone. Smoked fish is also good. Highly recommend this form of cooking.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Fluff from So-So My family thought this recipe was OK but not too great. Chicken was a little dry and the veggies didn't really stand out for themselves.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Moelysol from Not for my family This was a change of pace but it wasn't a keeper for my family. I didn't care for the vegetable combination with the whole chicken.
