For a deeper smoke flavor, consider using wood chips such as hickory, applewood, or mesquite. To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If you prefer a crispier skin, increase the smoker temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
