Tried one once, it is very good. Not greasy if cooked properly. Yes it
will be crispy just like fried chicken.

Oddly enough, I prefer either fried or normally roasted (not smoked) bird.
I smoked mine last year in my Kamado, and while others loved it, I wasn't
too thrilled with the taste. It was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender, but
the smoke flavor was just "off".
