Low & Slow: Master the Art of Barbecue in 5 Easy Lessons
“And, as we all know, crispy skin is one of the three great wonders of poultry. (The other two wonders? Crispy skin and crispy skin.) Air-drying the chicken after brining or marinating helps, but it’s no guarantee. Instead, there are other, relatively simple post-cook solutions to the problem of rubbery skin.
If you have a blowtorch handy, blast the flame about five inches from the chicken skin until the skin turns brown and crisp. Or set the fully cooked chickens, skin-side up, under a broiler ...for three to four minutes. If you’re using a kettle, flip the chicken skin-side down over the pile of hot charcoal and cook until the skin crisps, three to five minutes. If you’re using a WSM, remove the center ring and set the grate over the charcoal bowl. Flip the chicken skin-side down. Use caution and don’t walk away: the chicken will be very close to the coals, and the skin will crisp instantly—in less than one minute.
