Steps:
- Remove any giblets from the chicken
- Wash and pat dry
- Optional: Place the chicken on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath and allow it to dry in the refrigerator for 2-4hours or overnight. This will further dry the chicken skin and promote browning
- Preheat your pellet grill to 225F
- Brush the chicken skin with olive oil
- Lightly season the inside of the chicken cavity, reserving the majority of the seasoning for the skin
- Stuff the bird with lemon slices, onion, and rosemary sprigs
- Cross the two chicken legs and tie them together using butchers' twine to secure them in front of the cavity to promote even cooking. You can optionally also tuck the wings under the chicken by pushing the flats down toward the rear of the bird and tucking them underneath
- Season the exterior of the bird with the remaining chicken season so it's well covered
- Insert a digital meat thermometer or the grill's thermometer into the centermost and thickest part of the chicken breast without touching any bone
- Place the chicken on your pellet grill and smoke for one hour at 225F
- Increase the heat on your grill to375F and continue roasting until the white and dark meat reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes. Snip and discard the butcher twine and enjoy.

Steps:
- In a gallon ziploc bag, add your chicken breasts, Mt. Dew, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lime juice, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
- Zip up the bag, and toss, to allow the marinade to cover the chicken breasts.
- Place in the fridge, and let marinade for at least 3 hours (we recommend letting it marinate overnight).
- Right before grilling, combine the 1/2 cup maple syrup, cumin, garlic salt, pepper, and maple seasoning.
- Heat the grill to medium heat.
- Rub the maple mixture over the chicken breasts, and place them on the grill using tongs. You could also baste them with a basting brush if you hare having a hard time coating the chicken breasts in the glaze.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center of the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, when you cut into it.
- Serve and enjoy.
