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.
Summer Mexican Rice
This is a recipe I truly only make in the summer. There’s just something extra special about cooking Mexican rice with veggies entirely from your garden. Their own incredible flavours shine here, and the tomato, cilantro, jalapeno addition gives it just enough kick to make it pair incredibly with tacos, enchiladas and more!

These saffron chicken skewers are tender and bursting with flavour. Perfect for summer BBQ season! The delicate floral and earthy notes from the saffron is unmatched in any other spice. The saffron imparts not only flavour, but gives the chicken skewers a delightful yellow hue.

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 …
