How to Make the Perfect Roast Chicken With Crispy Skin

The perfect roast chicken is juicy, tender, beautifully browned, and has actually crispy skin. There are a lot of roast chicken recipes out there that promise you those results, but this is the only one that delivers on that promise. We roasted hundreds of chickens to come up with the best method. We inject brine directly into the meat, air dry the bird for three to five days, then use a two-stage cooking process, with a rest between each stage, to cook the bird perfectly and crisp and brown the skin. There’s no secret or difficult-to-find ingredients. All you need is chicken, salt, and a little patience, and you’ll be eating the best roast chicken in the world for dinner.
