Is there a trick to making the skin on a roast chicken crispy?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Too Silly asked:

Quick! I have a roast chicken in the oven….

My roast chicken ALWAYS comes out nice and moist and delicious – however – the skin is never as crispy as I’d like it to be. Whats the trick to browning the skin without over-drying it? Its one of the small fryer ones – a little over 4lbs.

How do I remove the skin from fresh catfish ?

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Dharma Nature asked:

The fresh catfish I can buy at the supermarket has the skin (or skin residue) left on and doesn’t taste so good when I cook it. So far I haven’t been able to think of a way to remove the skin without losing a couple of fingers.

Any ideas gratefully received.
Thank you for the answers so far.

The catfish is already cut up when I buy it. Any suggestions what to do in this case?
