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.
