Tips for Crispy Skin Mastery:
Start with dry skin: As mentioned before, moisture is the enemy. Pat the chicken dry thoroughly before seasoning or marinating.
High heat is your friend: Don't overcrowd the grill and let the chicken cook undisturbed for that initial sear.
No peeking! Resist the urge to flip the chicken too early. Let the skin render its magic.
Don't press down: Pressing down on the chicken while it cooks can squeeze out the juices and prevent the skin from crisping.
Let it rest: Resting the chicken after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more flavorful and moist meat.
