To get crispy chicken skin when smoking, try the following:

Make sure the skin is dry before smoking. Pat the chicken down with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the chicken skin with a small amount of oil or melted butter before smoking. This will help the skin crisp up and brown during cooking.
Smoke the chicken at a higher temperature (around 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 30-45 minutes, then reduce the temperature to your desired cooking temperature for the remainder of the cooking time.
Consider using a cooking spray specifically designed for high heat grilling, such as PAM Grilling.
Experiment with different wood types to find the one that gives you the best results. Some options to try include hickory, oak, or pecan.
Try making a crispy almond chicken recipe by coating the chicken in a mixture of ground almonds and breadcrumbs before smoking. This will add a crunchy, nutty flavor to the skin.
