Poultry
Split
Split breast usually means the bone-in breast halved along the keel—one portion per diner with skin and ribs attached. A supermarket staple for roasting trays and barbecue plates. Oil, season, and roast skin-up until the thickest meat is done; rest. Skin crisps better when patted dry. More forgiving than boneless. Great for batch cooking and leftover cold chicken. Finish under a broiler if skin needs more colour.
