Ok, so, if the chicken's skin isn't really great & tasty like the meat of
the chicken should be, here are some new questions I have (probably
non-issues, but I've gotta ask).

So...you've smoked your chicken, skin on.  The skin has a nice smokey
color, grill marks (which I consider a bonus in the aesthetics
department), etc., what's going to happen to all of that when you remove
the skin?

OBCH:  how much cayenne powder (all out of fresh cayenne, no garden so
far this year due to $$$ issues) should I add for a moderately spicy
(not hot, as such ... just spicy) chicken?  Should I add it to the
marinade, the sauce, or both?

Later,
