ScottyDaQ said:For smoking, I leave em skin side up. Personally, I don't like a lot of rub on the chicken skin when smoking...you're gunna throw the skin away anyway. Are you gunna brine?
For grilling....gotta have that nice charred crispy skin that some flashing of direct gets ya.
Mmmmm Yard birds.

Not completely true. You can get decent edible skin when smoking, but not as good as grilled.

True...but if it slides off in one big piece when they hit it with a fork .... only the REALLY COOL people will slice it up and chow it.
Sounds like a good plan Big Dude.
