Use a Corn Cob Holder for Pricking Poultry Skin

If you are like me, you like a crispy skin on chicken or duck. I had read a tip online that said to prick the skin with a wood skewer. Well, I tried that several times and it was either awkward, the skewer broke, or I had HUGE holes in my bird. I am cooking a duck today and tried a toothpick, worse than the skewer. My lightbulb of the day? Corn cob holder! It was easy to grip, nice metal prongs and only places small holes in the bird. Works great!
