Depending on the size of the whole chicken you are going to smoke, the cooking time may take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to smoke the whole chicken until it is fully cooked throughout. The only problem with smoking a chicken for this long period of time is the tendency for the meat to dry out.epending on the size of the whole chicken you are going to smoke, the cooking time may take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to smoke the whole chicken until it is fully cooked throughout.
