Should I Leave the Skin on Chicken
Q: Is it better to leave the skin on the chicken or take it off?
A: When smoking poultry it is usually better to leave the skin on since the skin acts as a barrier for the smoke and harsh heat. The skin allows just the right amount of smoke through and protects the meat from drying out.
I buy the "Lemon Pepper with Seasoning Salt" at Wal-mart and shake a good amount onto the skin as well as under the skin the best I can and the chicken always turns out delicious.
You can smoke chicken a little hotter than normal smoking temperatures if you want the skin to crisp up a little (250-275 works well for me.)
