PELLET GRILL CAJUN DRY-BRINED CHICKEN
Dry-brining is a technique that is less fussy (and messy!) than wet-brining and results in a flavorful smoked chicken that is seasoned throughout. You could dry-brine with just salt and pepper, but we added some zesty Cajun spices and a creamy remoulade to make this pellet-grilled chicken a real smoke show (pun intended).

Steps:
- The day before cooking the chicken, pat it dry with paper towels and put on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Stir together the smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, sugar, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Rub a generous amount in the cavity of the chicken then sprinkle the remaining Cajun seasoning all over the outside of the bird to create a thick coating on the skin. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Combine the mayonnaise, parsley, scallions, cornichons, mustard, ketchup, capers, garlic and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Stir to combine then season with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate the remoulade, covered, until ready to serve.
- Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat a pellet grill to 400 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
- Brush the outside of the chicken all over with the melted butter. Tuck the wings behind the chicken's back and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Place the chicken directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of one of the breasts reaches 160 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Serve the chicken whole or carved into parts, with soft dinner rolls and the remoulade on the side.

- Preheat grill to 375 degrees using a fruit wood like cherry or apple. Oak is another good flavor for chicken.
- Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel. Coat with olive oil, and season liberally, including inside the cavity. Stuff the chicken with the onion, garlic, lemon, and thyme. Tuck the wings under the chicken to keep them close to the body.
- Place on the grill and insert a wireless blue tooth thermometer into the thickest part of the breast (if you have one). Continue to grill until the internal temperature of the chicken at it's thickest part is 160 degrees F. This should take around 90 minutes.
- Remove from smoker and let stand loosely covered in foil for 15 minutes allowing juices to redistribute. Slice and serve.
