      • Chickite® or Chickite Supreme Marinade
      • One Step Prep
      • Wood Chips

       

      DIRECTIONS

      • Remove giblets, neck and any plastic leg fasteners or pop-up thermometers.
      • For Best Results  Prepare marinade in marinating tub using 6 oz. (by volume) of Chickite or Chickite Supreme Marinade per gallon of cold water. Submerge turkey. Be sure to cover the 10-12 lb. turkey completely, marinade should also be inside cavity. Marinate turkey 12-36 hours in refrigerator. After marination, drain thoroughly.
      • Evenly apply One Step Prep to turkey. Rub onto all sides of turkey, including between the legs and wings. Note: If you marinated your turkey, use a little less rub to prevent over salting.
      • Allow to set up in refrigeration for 1 hour.
      • Using poultry pins, secure legs and wings.
      • Add 2 oz. of wood chips to the charring cup and follow standard smoker operating procedures. You will not need any water in your drip pan as the turkey will provide enough moisture.
      • Place turkey breast side down on the shelf. The skin will separate on the back, however the breast will be “carving ready” when cooked.
      • If smoking two turkeys, be sure to have space between the two turkeys to allow airflow in between.
      • Follow cooking chart below based on bird size. Ensure internal temperature of 170 F in breast/180 F in thigh.
