Cook it on a rack. Spatchcock the chicken or only cook a half.

Season that bird, throw it on the oven on 450 for bout 60-90min. Then broil for a quick minute or two depending on browness and crispness of skin. (Some say 500 for 45 minutes..I havent tried that yet though. I'm do that on a smoker or grill tho).

Let it rest then chop chop. You'll perfect your technique over time.

Just be careful if you use a Jerk Marinade because the sugars will burn at that temp. I used a Jerk Dry rub and complement it with marinade.
If you spatchcock or halve it - 60-90 minutes is going to way too long. Unless it's a turkey sized chicken

Also - the best easiest way to get crispy skin is to dry brine for a day. Mix some salt, and baking powder, rub on skin and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator for a day

Early tip for thanksgiving - do the same for the turkey but it needs 2-3 days :ufdup:

You are right. I did not mean to write 90 minutes at all. Lol. 60 to 70max with a quick broil. Pardon

I like Babish but Joshua Whiteboy(lmao) is too damn corny. I can never get through his videos. And he uses ingredients and equipment most home cooks will never have access to.

Not another cooking show has raised my itailian game tho. He’s not corny at all and gives simple recipes.

Not really cooking but I've been eating 3-4 of these a day. Just peeled cucumbers and grape tomatoes cut in half with a little balsamic on top.:cook:

What makes you eat that?
Just as a snack or what? Cuz i know that cant fill u up

Pregnancy cravings, I've eaten like 5 cucumbers in the past few days. I'm only craving raw vegetables like broccoli, celery, and tomatoes. But not lettuce which I usually love. And green apple slices and oranges. No sweet stuff at all. I eat eggs and protein shakes to get my protein.

:mjcry: I'm gonna lose all my gains.
