Jill Nystl is the author of the book One Good Life, and also a blogger who shares interesting life hacks and cooking tips. Jill said that she really likes grilled chicken and has made this dish many times by herself. There have been failures and successes, and after many times like that, Jill has summed up the secret to have roasted chicken with crispy skin.
Before knowing this secret, Jill often removed the skin before grilling because she didn’t know how to make it crispy and delicious. But then, Jill discovered the special secret. It is using a blow dryer.
Jill said that after marinating the chicken meat with salt for 24 to 48 hours, she would take the chicken out of the refrigerator and use a blow dryer to blow-dry the chicken meat. She chooses the cool mode and blow-dries the whole chicken. According to Jill, this is the way to dry the moist areas of the chicken, which is the key to crispy skin after grilling. In addition, Jill also blow-dries the inside of the chicken.

After that, Jill will apply a layer of oil on the entire chicken, marinate it with a few more spices depending on the recipe, and then put it in the preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius. She will place the chicken in an iron pan, put it in the oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius. After this time, Jill increases the temperature to 190 degrees Celsius and continues to grill for another 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes, she increases the temperature by another 20 degrees Celsius, until the oven reaches a temperature of 230 degrees Celsius.
