Carved chicken in half. Just put in water bath. Doing 150 for 6 hours or so.

Any tips/pointers to getting skin crispy once finished? I’ve thought about broiling in oven or grilling over some charcoal. Anyone have any experience with this or know the best way?

Probably aren't going to be able to get crispy skin that late in the game without severly overcookin the bird

Dry it off after the sous vide period as much as possible then put skin side down in a hot pan with oil

Remove skin, sautee skin, place crispy skin on top of sous vide’d chicken. Enjoy

Sprinkle baking powder on skin before final cook.

Suspend the bird over a pot and ladle hot oil over it like they do with Peking Duck.

This is a chicken thigh.

Sous vide is a wonderful technique but isn’t consistent with desire for a crispy skin.

Spatchcock season put in the refrigerator overnight and roast in the oven if crispy skin is what your goal

I eat chicken at 150F after resting these days. I would do 140F and broil it for as long as it takes. All you have to do is hold 140F for *whatever the FDA says* minutes and it will kill everything.
