Savory chicken can score well, but it can be hit or miss. Crispy skin would do well, but will almost never stay crispy. The chicken sits in a closed box for typically 10 minutes, maybe more, so the steam in the box will most likely soften any crispy skin, unfortunately.

As far as boring chicken, yes, most of it will have sauce and will probably have a sweeter flavor, but sweet shouldn't be dominant. The best chicken I have tasted at a competition had a good balance of sweet, savory and heat. That is hard to do, so it's less common.
