How Long to Cook Chicken on Pit Boss Grills

Cooking a whole chicken at 225F on the Pit Boss will take roughly 45 minutes per pound of meat. This means that a 4 pound chicken will take 3 hours roughly. A larger bird will take a bit longer.

What matters most is not the exact timings but the internal temperature which needs to come up to 165F at the thickest point of the chicken meat.

Have a look at this article for more information on the internal temp of chicken.

If you are cooking a small cut of chicken meat such as wings, thighs or breast it will only take 1-2 hours in the smoker at 225F. Again however it is crucial that the internal temperature of the chicken meat is 165F, no matter which cut of chicken it is.
