Tips Which Might Help!
- Dealing with Sticky Butter: When using garlic butter, avoid sticky situations by placing dollops under the skin and pressing them down. This prevents messy fingers and ensures even distribution.
- Minimize Butter on Top: To prevent burning during baking, refrain from adding excess butter on top of the skin. If you accidentally apply too much, simply dab it off with a paper towel before baking.
- Enhance Crispiness with an Oven-Safe Rack: For extra crispy results, utilize an oven-safe rack. Elevating the chicken allows for better airflow, resulting in crispier skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan for optimal results.
- Avoid Crowding: Ensure sufficient space between chicken pieces on the pan. Overcrowding impedes airflow, leading to uneven cooking and less crispy skin, particularly if using a baking dish.
