On the grill
Heavy with skin, tendon and connective tissue, so a quick grill leaves it chewy. Indirect heat for several hours melts the collagen and lets the skin crisp.
A blast of direct heat right at the end crisps the skin once the meat underneath is already tender. Do it too early and the skin burns before the inside catches up.
