Best Cut of Chicken Ever (Crispy Skin Chicken Recipe)

Best Cut of Chicken

Instructions

Ask your butcher to butcher one whole chicken like he would for turducken, just divided in 1/2 (along the spine). What you’re left with is the flavorful dark meat and white breast meat bound together by the chicken’s skin.

  • Season your chicken with Diamond Crystal Kosher salt (should look like it’s snowing), and render that crispy skin over medium to medium high heat in a cast iron pan and watch that chicken skin crisp up almost like bacon.
  • Cook 90 percent skin side down, and gently finish in a 375 degree oven until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Rest the chicken 5 minutes, and you will not be left unsatisfied!

We serve our crispy skin version here with a black truffle jus, and stuff the bird below the flesh with sautéed mushrooms, pecans, red wine vinegar, and black truffle.
