Roast chicken only tastes good with really crispy skin.
In this article you will find out how you can easily do this with a secret ingredient.
Chicken is one of the most versatile types of meat because it can be cooked in around a million different ways and combined with a billion different ingredients. And who doesn't love the half-chickens from the food truck that give off a delicious smell in the neighborhood? You can
also prepare
chicken legs, legs or whole roasted chickens
at home, but one thing is particularly important: the skin has to be crispy * and the meat has to be juicy on the inside. There is one simple ingredient for doing this that you probably haven't tried yet but are sure to have at home. Believe it or not,
having
the
crispest fried chicken skin
ever made
is what
you need: baking soda.

Chicken gets extra crispy with this ingredient
So how can you use baking soda to make the chicken crispy, be it as a whole bird or the thighs?
That's how it's done:
Mix one part of baking soda with three to four pinches of salt, add some black pepper and sprinkle the mixture over the whole chicken.
Massage everything into the skin of the fresh chicken.
Make sure to let the chicken
rest
afterwards
so that the baking soda can work its magic.
A rest period of 12 to 24 hours is recommended for a whole chicken - so be sure to prepare the chicken
the day
before.
Then you can bake the chicken in the oven as usual (you can see the classic preparation for roasting chicken in the oven in the video above) or fry it in the pan.
By the way, in this case you should never
use
baking soda instead of baking powder
, as
baking
soda would create an unpleasant aftertaste.
