They should take 2 to 3 hours at 225, but then if you like crispy skin you will have to put them on a grill or in the oven for 10 minutes or so. Or you can just eat healthy & throw the skin out, or boil it with the bones for some great chicken stock.

X2 -- Al's got your back.  Any fruit wood is great for poultry, IMHO.  Alder is very nice as well.
