How do you brown the skin when roasting a whole chicken or turkey? Ours comes out bland, not crispy. Thank you.

    Holly,[p]Many methods are touted...but bumping up yout temp at the end will brown and crisp the skin. [p]Air drying the bird in the fridge (uncovered for 3 or 4 hours) will also give you a crisper skin.[p]Barbra Kafka has a great book Called " The Simple Art of Roasting"!! It's a great reference source.
    She details many different methods, not just the 375 till done you hear all the time!!
    I think Woo Doggies has also mentioned it here.[p]Have Fun![p]Chubby[p][p]
    I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!!

    Chubby,[p]Rub the skin with lemon juice, preferably from a fresh lemon, but a bottle will do.[p]Clausen
