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.

    First gator smoke for a work function

    Posted by Kito TwoDat Hughes on May 19th 2024

    First gator smoke for a work function. The product was delivered to Wisconsin in 2 days. There was minimal prep work required and gator was good. I know in the future “Creole Food” is the place to go.

    This is a great alternative from crawfish this year to keep the Cajun atmosphere

    Posted by Michael on Mar 28th 2024

    This is a great alternative from crawfish this year to keep the Cajun atmosphere. Chest smoke it like a chicken. I’ve done 3 gators so far this year, been doing Cajun spice recipes but realize you can do any seasoning and it makes sense. Thinking of doing a Honey BBQ on one side and a Buffalo Sauce on the other.
