Crispy 'whole' chicken (pics may be offensive to some, viewer discretion advised ;))

Heavy dose of DP Swamp Venom both sides, added garlic and onion powder, coated with corn starch sprinkled with a fine mesh tea strainer just before hitting the egg.  Indirect 375-400F with stone on spider legs down (whenever possible I like spider legs down to provide better air flow), bird elevated to top of AR.  When breast IT reached 130 I brushed the skin with canola oil.  With feet facing the rear of the egg (hotter side), bird was ready with breast IT 150+ and legs IT 180+ at the same time.  Although crispy outside, the feet were chewy.  The brain was the bomb!  I put foil under the feet and head/neck as they were overhanging into direct heat.



Corn starch and oil really crisped up the skin, this 13-sec clip says it all:
