4. Place skin side up in 275-300 degree smoker with some apple wood chips.
5. Check for doneness after an hour; it should take about 60 to 90 minutes depending on smoker heat and placement.
6. Do not flip or touch the chicken until it is done.
7. Use an instant read thermometer to check for doneness and remove when thigh temperature is 175 degrees and/or breast temperature is 165 degrees.
