I remembered that someone said on TV how to crisp the chicken skin using a pot of water as a weight and I came up with my own original recipe.

By pressing the chicken with a weight, its skin crisps up really nicely. Timing is crucial. Put the weight over the chicken before it starts to shrink with the heat. If you don't like putting the pot directly onto the chicken, use a piece of kitchen foil between them. Recipe by Matsujun
