is it possible to smoke skinless chicken?

This is why I like smoking chicken wings. They are full of flavor in every bite.

In all honesty, this is a similar issue to smoking pork butts as well. A cube of meat that's 8 inches thick just isn't going to get smoke flavor throughout. But with the pork, it penetrates enough over the hours that when I shred it along with the drippings it all comes together and picks up the smoke.
