Skin On

Skin-on partridge breast bastes itself as fat renders; the skin should finish crisp while the meat stays just done. Small lean game bird, delicately gamey and milder than pheasant when young. Start skin-side down in a moderately hot pan, finish in the oven if thick, rest. Dry the skin well first. Quick-roast young birds; braise older ones; do not overcook breast.
