How do I crispy skin? Always either burn it or end up soggy.

Bicycle pump mate

Wipe the skin dry with a towel before seasoning. Spray lightly with a decent oil.

What's a decent oil? and what temperature? recipes online vary wildly some say high heat for a short time others say low heat for a longer time.

I have a related question that should have gone in a /sqt/ or /qtddtot/, but you fags don't have one.

I picked up a couple of cornish hens at the grocery store on a complete whim. I barely know how to cook, and am poorfag without access to much cooking equipment, but I'm willing to experiment. What should I do with them?

I need help.

Hot oven. Salt the bird the day before and leave uncovered in the fridge.

also, dont brine before roasting. it thins the skin too much.

>uncovered in the fridge
Won't it absorb fridge taste like butter though?

Salting a day before is like a dry brine though, no?

Do I salt outside, inside or both? Do I have to leave the salt on the skin if I salt it outside too or can I wipe it off?

Do I still oil the bird before roasting?

Mmmm rub it with duck fat on and under the skin. Baste well throughout.

Dry skin add light layer of grease add salt. Dry skin.
