Crispy Skin Spatchcock

RayS

I have made a number of Spatchcock chickens which tasted good, but the skin was always rubbery and the meat seemed like it was just not right, so today I thought I would try preparing it and letting the bird sit in the fridge for the afternoon uncovered. I cooked the chicken as I normally would, but when I moved it to the plate I could tell the skin was crispier than normal. The meat was very moist and flavorful. [p]I used Dizzy Pig Swamp Dust as the rub on this chicken. A nice amount of heat, that seem to mellow out as the meat cook. The whole family complemented on the great flavor.[p]Thanks to all who suggested drying the bird uncovered in the fridge and to the Dizzy Pig Co for another great tasting rub.[p]RayS

RayS,
Thank YOU for the report! Very happy to hear you enjoyed the Swamp Venom. Air drying the skin really does seem to make a difference when you are looking for crispy skin.[p]Beers to you
