Short YouTube cooking clip by Richard Perkins demonstrating how he smokes pasture-raised chickens. He skewers the birds with a needle through the breast out the back to hang them, lights a fire, lays sawdust in a "snake" so it burns along, and plans to smoke the chickens for about 20 hours, keeping them hung away from the fire to prevent fat dripping onto the flames (which would cause rancid fumes).

Questions this video answers

About 20 hours.

Laid in a "snake" shape so it will burn along from one end to the other.

Through the breast, out the back, to enable hanging on a hook.

Chapters

So we're smoking chickens for tomorrow's dinner and we've just skewered them with this needle through the breast, out the back to enable us to hang them up on a hook. I've just lit a fire. I've put the sawdust in a kind of snake shape rather than one big pile. It's going to burn along from one end to the other. Now we're going to smoke them for about 20 hours, I would say. But I'm hanging these away from the actual fire because I don't want fat dripping on the fire. It will send up rancid fumes. Looks good. We like it.
