Have any of yall done this?

I’ve always cooked these chickens in the oven. I’ve got one from Rod’s in Church Point in the freezer that I’m thinking of cooking for a quick meal this week, but contemplating cooking it in my offset smoker.

Will it mess up the rice and crawfish flavor? I know the chicken itself would be delicious.

Thank you in advance, you fine ladies and gentlemen.

That will be fine, and you'll get some smoke. I cook those stuffed chickens from time to time and thats about the temp I do. But the thought of slow rolling the crawfish/ shrimp stuffed ones gives me pause.

Sounds absolutely terrible! But, I’d try a couple slices, just to make sure, lol…

How do you get ettouffe inside a chicken and keep it there?

it's mostly rice so it absorbs the liquid

My thought exactly since my etouffees are pretty wet, similar to a sauce piquant in style.

Now, I could see a good jambalaya working in that situation since the rice absorbs the liquid and would absorb the juices of the chicken as it cooked.

That is exactly what I did with my Primo when I lived down there. That one and the jambalaya version come out great.

We get the stuffed chickens from Heberts and when I have the time I smoke them instead of baking them in the oven and they come out better. I usually cook them around 250ish and the come out just fine.
