The people complaining about this recipe are just plain wrong. This is my go-to chicken recipe and it turns out insanely good crisp, moist chicken every time, without fail. Yes, sometimes there is smoke and/or grease (gasp!) but it is SO worth it. Ignore the naysayers. You will not get similarly delectable chicken skin by tossing it in the oven and baking it. Heaven help us. Just make this and you won’t regret it. With enough time, you will be doing it without the need of timers or constant checking. Make it with a big pan of cornbread and you will have an insanely good southern feast. If it doesn’t turn out for you, try and try again. The fault is yours, not the recipe, but practice makes perfect. Don’t give up!
