Special sauce etc...needed for crisp poultry skin?

The answer to the question is NO it isn't ...but first there's nothing on this chicken quarter. There was no oil, no mayonaise, no special sauce or no seasoning/salt and it was tap on it sounding crispy.

I had left one of those bags of chicken quarters in the crisper of the fridge and forgot about it till it was a week or so after it's expiration. I used to throw out chicken like that but I forgot that dogs can still eat. I usually mix up some chicken with the old pooches food but didn't have much to put in it this morning and he wouldn't eat. :tsk: That's why I broke out these expired quarters I had frozen just for the dogs.... free fuel for the 007 so it's getting grilled.


Back to the chicken skin..Yea crispy as all get out, just flip skin side down for a while and the fats will render and turn crisp. For all those that grill try using something that will give you more distance between your charcoal fire then the skin can spend more time facing the direct heat with no black burning. Anyways that's the tip of the day!


Oh the hush puppies were for me! :becky: Nice and crisp but moist inside. Yum!





Lastly some chicken to mix in his food.

It's called chicken broth. :heh:

Anyways I know people constantly talk about crispy skin and this bird skin was fried pork rind crisp.

I think lots of people that grill realize the affect direct heat can have but are afraid to burn it because it's too close to the coals...which I totally understand. That's why raised direct even a few more inches so the skin can spend more time facing the coals will make a huge difference in the end result. For kettle type grills just something like the hover grill concept would work.

Well the young girl will eat her food no problem but the spoiled old man expects chicken in his food or he'll look at me like " Seriously...this is all you got?"

The bag unthawed enough to finish it all, then I'll shred it and freeze it in portions. (label dog food) :shock:

Still cracks me up for the 2nd day I'm bbq'n for a dog! :laugh:

Pouring out and heard tornado sirens from a distance.

...and the last of the fried like crispy chicken skin with simple old fire (dog food)!

We had warnings pretty much all around but no real part of the storm nailed us.

Ok, they're all cooked so you can test them out for me!
