Welcome to The Pit. It would help if we knew what kind of grill you were using, and where the thermometer is located. If it is high in the dome, you are getting a false temp because the temp will be higher high up in your cooker. The temp probe needs to be an inch or two off the cooking grate and at least an inch or two from the chicken and the walls of the cooker to get an accurate reading. So if your probe was above the chicken and it was reading low, you were cooking way below the recommended temp.
Personally, I prefer temps above 350* to get the skin as crisp as possible.
