I love how honest Malcom always is. Showing the cooking spray, or even when he uses his rubs, he always says “but you can use whatever you like.” Learned so much from him over the years. ❤

I can’t figure out why… but I just flat out trust this man when it comes to cooking meat.

Imagine being Malcolm's neighbor.... 😋 🍗 😁

Pro tip: use (believe it or not), mayonaise as a binder! It's mostly emulsified oil that stays put, holds the seasoning and gives a beautiful brown, crispy skin! No, it doesnt taste like mayo~

3:47 "he gone get one on this pellet grill today" diabolical

Been following brother Malcom for about 15 years now. Dude is a BBQ god!

I make your smoked turkey every single year. Everyone always tells me they've never had turkey that was as good as chicken. I have given it to at least 20 people who now also make it. It is the smoked turkey period.

Brother Malcom, I just made this bird for Thanksgiving. If I light up a grill, I'm coming to you. I've never had a Turkey taste this damn good. My whole family is on a food high. Keep doing what you're doing.🎉

Best Turkey I ever made was from Malcolm, his yt channel, and his support team. The best people.

Bro. You've come such a long way. I remember learning how to a turkey from your original turkey video sitting in your kitchen ten years ago. Now I get to by AP at my local store and your recording in a damn studio getting quarter of a mil in a few days!!!! Congrats brother you deserve it!!! Edit: My family hasnt eaten a bird any other way brother!!! 10 years strong!

I cooked Malcolm's other turkey recipes for Thanksgiving and have been told by everyone at the table that it was the best turkey they've ever had. Looking forward to the same compliment this year with this recipe!

Malcom, I did this step by step and got all the ingredients from the website. Turned out absolutely perfect! Was the hit of Thanksgiving! Will be doing this for years to come! Thanks for everything and keep on cooking!

Happy Thanksgiving! I've been smoking turkey like this for 5 or 6 years in a row now. This year my friends and family begged me to host again and make the turkey. I always come back to watch your videos to give me a little inspiration. I spatchcocked one last year and turned out great but I love the presentation of the full bird so we are rollin with this today. Thankful for you Malcom! Have a blessed day.

To get extra crispy skin, do what they do to peeking duck.
Drizzle several gallons of boiling water all over the skin (before injecting and rub).
It shrinks it up and begins to break down the fat and collagen in the skin.
Super crispy!
