Smoking a prime brisket, 2 racks of spare ribs, and a whole chicken today. Have questions on "how to" get chicken skin "right".
I usually spatchcock a chicken to get it to cook more evenly. I've had issues in the past with the skin being rubbery. I started cooking closer to the firebox to get more heat on the skin (prob around 350-375), helped quite a bit. Any other tricks to get the skin to render properly? A buddy told me about putting vinegar on the skin the night before you cook.
Any help is appreciated.
