Let's hear those recipes & tips.
I'm finally firing up my smoker never smoked a chicken. Never smoked poultry. A lot of fish... catfish, trout, salmon, white bass. I'd be concerned about the internal temp of the bird.

I smoke chicken and turkey all the time. You'll want to wet smoke it and stick a thermometer in it. You're aiming for 165 degrees but pull it at 160 and let it rest for the last 5 degrees. Stick the thermometer the same place you do a turkey. I would keep the smoker between 200 and 250 degrees. I wouldn't worry about seasoning. That won't really do much since it will be on the skin and the skin won't really be edible much unless you really like smoke. If anything you can toss your herbs in the water pan, that will season it better than just putting it on the bird. Don't let the water pan dry out. You could atomize the grease and have a grease fire. (don't ask).

When I do turkey, I wrap with 1# of bacon(pin it with toothpicks). I sometimes inject butter into the breast. About half way done I change the beacon out and pin new bacon on. You probably wouldn't have to fo that on a chicken. Use an internal thermometer for temperature. It helps to let the bird on the counter for an hour or so to warm up. It helps take the smoke better. Temp about 225, I'll bump the heat up at the end to finish the bird out. I put 50 minutes of smoke to a Turkey, adjust for the chicken if need be.

I have not tried it yet, but on America's Test Kitchen, last week, they cooked a beef brisket slowly and more coolly by putting charcoal briquettes in a circle, that was not completely closed. They lighted one end of the charcoal circle by placing well started charcoal on it. They put hickory chunks in a pan of water in the middle for smoke and steam. I am going to try cooking pork and chicken that way, using wood blocks instead of charcoal, when the weather improves.
