Here are some general guidelines for cooking a whole-skinned alligator.
Start with:
Alligator is a lean meat so you want to make sure you are keeping it moist.
Brine or marinate the alligator overnight.
Season the alligator any seasoning can be used (we have several to choose from on our site). You can coat the alligator with butter or a basting spray to help the seasoning set. (Wrapping the alligator in bacon is an option bacon fat helps keep it moist while cooking)
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (250-275 degrees) and lightly oil the grates.
Place the alligator on the grill and cook for about 2-4 hours, or until the meat is cooked through and lightly charred. (Cooking time will depend on the type of grill you are using and the size of the alligator.
To ensure that the alligator is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. The alligator is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
