Smoking a Skinless Chicken

[SteveM.]

Hello Folk's, about to do my first WSM cook and wanted to try a couple butterflied chickens that are skinless. Any suggestions on Temp,cooking times etc? Thanks in advance. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hey also, can the birds be marinated and cook well without the skin? And should I polk holes in the Birds to insure flavor? Thanks

Based on the lack of responses, I don't think too many people cook whole chickens that are skinless. I've done boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but have no experience with doing whole birds that way.

Regards,
Chris

I guess the chickens are skinless because you made them that way. The skin is where most of the fat is located. I try to watch the fat annd usually discard the skin. I think the best way is to cook with the skin on for moisture and then remove before eating. You'll avoid most of the fat but still have some good taste.
