Score in diamonds, then dry brine overnight on the skin side. 10/10 Will work.

Another tip That made a huge difference for mine. After it’s fully cooked put enough oil in a pan to cover the skin if you put it skin side down. Use half of the oil from the tray it cooked in and half vegetable oil,( I’m told any oil but olive). Put the skin side down while the skillet/pan is off, cool to touch. Turn the burner on med-high and turn a timer on for 8 minutes. At about that time it’s done and perfectly crispy

We just go full blast, once the mest reaches its temp, we turn the oven to max(270c) and it takes 10-15 mins, but you've gotta watch it, if some pops while some uses longer, put aluminiumfoil over the part(s) that's popped. Use the grill function of your oven if it's needed, I've never had to.

I have a recipe that's never failed me and always turns out heavenly, it's in Norwegian tho
