So if you're grilling like I do outside with coals on my big Weber, what I do is I put this beautiful coal pile inside the chimney. Then I put it in the basket, close the lid and let it crank up to the highest heat I can possibly get it. And when it's time to put the chicken down, I lift up the hood, and put the coals on the side, and then I put my chicken breast, and then close the lid. And I keep as much heat as possible in there. That's how I get that nice, wonderful, crispy skin.
