"Hawaii’s feral chickens are, today, a genetic blend of Jungle Fowl, fighting birds, and a host of domestic breeds. Mostly they look like Jungle Fowl. They are small, quick, and adaptable. And quite noisy."
But my question is how do they taste?

"But my question is how do they taste?" A little like spotted owl.

Not good, fresh from the jungle. The locals make them more palatable by catching them and feeding them chicken food for a couple of weeks. I imagine cooking them with a LOT of spices, as jerk chicken or chicken adobo, is probably the preferred method.
If you are used to American A&P chicken, it has much less flavor than do “heritage chickens”.

People living today who used to eat heritage chicken find A&P chicken distasteful by comparison.
So, before trying to eat Hawaiian feral chicken, I would suggest having a go with heritage chicken first. You might find it delectable, or you might find it gamey.
