Keep your temp above 300 for any chance of good skin. Having a rub/seasoning with a fair amount of salt on the skin along with a little olive oil or butter also help with crisp skin.

Lately I've been cooking without the skin and putting the rub/oil directly on the meat. It makes for tasty meat, but chicken just isn't the same without that skin. Using your fingers to get rub/oil under the skin is a good idea.

Also, injecting seems to be a great trick too. I tries that for the first time last night and had great results.

Look for breast temps to be about 165 without an injection. You can go up to about 170 - maybe a bit higher - with an injection. At 300* in the pit, expect it to take about 90 minutes, but internal temps are the important part.

Good luck! Post some pron if time allows!
