Ingredients
- 1 whole fryer chicken (about 6 or 6 1/2 pounds)
For the brine:
- ½ cup salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- water
Chicken Rub:
- ¼ cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For inside the chicken:
- ½ white onion (quartered)
- 4 garlic cloves
Baked Potatoes
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- sea salt
Green Beans
- 24 ounces green beans (trimmed and cut)
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Triple Berry Galette
- 12 ounces blueberries
- 6 ounces raspberries
- 6 ounces blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour (or corn starch)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 Refrigerated Pie Dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar
Instructions
- For the Brine: Dissolve the salt and brown sugar in 1 gallon of water. Once dissolved, place the chicken in the brine and refrigerate overnight. Make sure chicken is fully under the water. Place a heavy plate on top to help with that if needed.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients together for the dry rub.
- Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Rub with the dry rub.
- Stuff the cavity with the onion and garlic.
- Place the whole chicken directly on the grill.
- Set the smoker to “smoke” and smoke for 30 minutes.
- Then set Traeger temperature to 225º Fahrenheit.
- Smoke for about 5 hours or until an instant-read thermometer reads 160℉ when inserted into the thickest part of the breast. The finished internal temperature will rise to 165℉ in the breast as the chicken rests. Tent the chicken with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- Choose medium potatoes. Large potatoes will take longer to bake.
- Clean the potatoes and dry them.
- Rub them with oil, then salt.
- Poke the potatoes 2-3 times with a fork.
- A medium potato will take about 2 ½ hours to smoke at 225º Fahrenheit.
- Place the potatoes directly on the grill grate and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until soft in the middle when pricked with a fork. Serve loaded with your favorite toppings.
- Put the beans in a pile on a cast iron skillet and pour the melted butter over them.
- Sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Use tongs to toss the green beans with the butter.
- Roast the beans for about 2 1/2 hours at 225º stirring 3-4 times during cooking.
- They will be crispy green beans, so if you’d like them softer, allow them to cook longer.
- When ready to cook, set the grill temperature to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the berries, sugar, tapioca flour and lemon juice.
- Roll the pie dough just slightly larger than its original shape.
- Place two tablespoons melted butter in the bottom of the skillet.
- Place the pie dough into the skillet.
- Pile the berry mixture on top of pie dough, leaving a 1 or 2” border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the pie dough in small segments up and over the filling. Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Place the skillet directly on the grill grate and bake for 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
