Mickey’s Coffee Rub is good on yardbird.

put chunks of peach wood in with the lump and on the lump. Had fire stabilized at 235 deg for about 2 hours and then put the chicken on.
cooked it until an internal tempo of 165 and took it off. Put on at 10:30 and took off at 5:30.
did a rub of salt, pepper and garlic. Basted twice during the cook with a vinegar, butter, water and salt mixture and then reapplied some rub
skin was crispy, meat fell off the bone and was not dry at all with a nice smoke flavour.

Spatchcocked Turkey and Chicken on the Big Green Egg
(you cut out the backbone and cook opened)
I like a 11/12 lb bird. If I need lots of turkey I just cook a couple ( 1 & 1/2 hr cook app)
Chicken 3 to 4.5lb bird or birds. Under an hour cook.
Or, just add a package of legs extra.
I do not brine the turkey or Chicken.
If time I like to leave uncovered in the fridge overnight (no problem if no time)
I cook "direct" @ 400 on a raised grill "skin side up" and never turn over.
I will use a coffee rub. Use what you like.
NOTE PLEASE (A LOT OF SMOKE IS NOT YOU FRIEND)
I use about a single handfull of mixed chips: Cherry & Pecan.
Cook to temp (not time) breast @ 165 and thigh @ 175
Coffee Rub (turkey, chicken, beef & pork)
Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee..
Equal part: Brown Sugar..
½ part: Black Pepper..
½ part: Kosher Salt..
½ part: Garlic Powder..
¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder..
Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area ( have used both light or dark version). I make it starting with a half cup Instant Expresso Ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.
