Smoking chicken quarters without the skin ?

[stout]

I'm wondering if anyone smokes skin free chicken quarters? how did they come out for you?

My wife likes to take take the skin and make chicken skin chicharon which is way better than anything the smoker can do to the skin ... but the meat coming out right is the most important thing..

i don't have any quarters to try it with right now .. so i'm just wondering of others have smoked them skin free

Since chicken quarters are dark meat you might get away with it. You might leave the leg skin since there isn't a lot of meat there.  One option might be to experiment with 1/3 of a slice of bacon on a couple thighs to see if they turnout any different than the naked ones.
