Roasted chicken question

I did a beer butt chicken tonight, 400 degrees indirect. I have done chicken a few times now, and while it is always very tender and moist, the skin is like slightly crisp rubber. I love this BBQ but I am going nuts with the chicken skin thing. I hate to say it but I cannot get a whole chicken to come out like I can in a webber. Help please!!

    I would do beer can chicken direct not indirect. You may also want to try spatchcocking a chicken. Poultry is great on the egg. What kind if set up did you use on the weber?

    Just did 2 the other night on a Papa Jeabert 2 chicken up. Cooked on direct heat at the felt line @ 350 for a little over an hour. Pulled off at 165 degree in the thigh. Crispy skin and moist birds.

    On the webber, chickens in the center coals on the sides. No problem with smoking grease doing direct on the egg?
