Pin the Skin for Juicier, More Flavorful Roasted Chicken Breasts

Roasting chicken breasts with the skin on is a good idea, but roasting them with the skin pinned in place with toothpicks is an even better idea. This simple trick will help keep the skin from shrinking and drying out, resulting in juicier, more flavorful chicken. It also allows the rendered fat to baste the skin, making it crispy and delicious. So the next time you roast a chicken breast, be sure to pin the skin in place with a few toothpicks. You won’t regret it!
