Main Course
Smoked Whole Chicken on the Traeger
There are so many ways to cook a whole chicken, but my favourite (aside from rotisserie) is to use the Traeger. This smoked whole chicken doesn’t need any special prep like brining, salting/drying, or basting. All you need is a delicious herb rub and optionally stuffed with fresh herbs. With this recipe (and a 3 lb raw whole chicken), you can have dinner for 4 on the table in just 1.5 hours.

The Best Traeger Mac and Cheese
This traeger mac and cheese recipe is, in my humble opinion, the best. Why? It only needs one kind of cheese while still boasting fantastic flavour. It’s not overly rich (but appropriately so) and it’s so easy to make! You can even make it in …
