Salt Choose sea salt for the most natural salty flavor.
Crushed GarlicFresh garlic is perfect but jarred and frozen are both great alternatives.
Baking Powder This special seasoning is actually the trick to extra crispy chicken skin!
Olive Oil This lean cooking oil is perfect for this recipe but you can swap it for your favorite cold-pressed oil if you prefer.
For the Sauce:
½ of a Ripe AvocadoLook for an avocado with dark and bumpy skin. It should yield slightly to the touch but not be too soft.
