Does salt induce a crispy texture in chicken skin?
Apply a good amount of kosher salt to the entire chicken, both the inside and the outside, as well as the front and the rear. Prepare the chicken by exposing it in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to twenty-four hours. When cooked, the skin will be crisper if stored in the refrigerator with the salt brine on for longer. This will result in improved moisture retention.
