Grit & Soul tip
Dark meat forgives more heat, but every chicken dinner gets better with a short rest.

18m agoThis is the kind of idea I would save for a cold Sunday. The cast iron move feels exactly right.
Grit & Soul know-how
Protect the crunch
Why it works
Crisp food needs space, dry surfaces, and steady heat. Crowding creates steam where crunch should be.
Watch for
Work in small batches and give the food a rack or open surface after cooking instead of trapping steam underneath.
Make it yours
Make the sauce the personality. Hot honey, lemon pepper, ranch, chile crisp, or a sharp pickle dip all change the whole plate.
