I've been cooking half chickens for 30 or 35 years now and don't remember ever having a complaint about the skin being tough or rubbery. My method is so simple that it seems almost too easy. I just sprinkle a little of whatever dry seasonings (cavenders,salt ground pepper,etc,etc.),place them on my smoker,always with rib side down.I let em' cook for 30 or 40 minutes and then douse em' really well with a mixture of cooking oil (can be wesson,mazola,wal-mart,canola,or whatever you prefer) to keep them from drying out,vinegar,it helps make the meat nice and tender, and worchestire sauce for color. Apply liberally every 30-45 min. on smoker,and as needed on grill. Thats really all you need to do to have moist, tender chicken with a skin that you'll like. It's so simple it hurts....Give it a try and let me know what you think about it.

Good Cookin'
