How to cook Cracklin’ Chicken

Season the chicken. Place in a COLD 10-inch skillet, skin side down. Turn the burner to medium/medium low. Let the fat render and the skin get crispy, about 10-12 minutes. This depends a lot on your particular stove. Turn the heat down if the skin browns too quickly. You want all the fat to render to get the crackling crunch.
Turn the chicken and continue to cook until the meat registers 160-165 degrees F., about 10 minutes. Do not cover the pan or the skin will soften because of the steam. Serve immediately. Like you could wait. I mean come on.
