If you mean bacon
Or do you mean like the crispy bits on chicken like the skin
Bacon just fry it
Chicken or other roasts plenty of oil and sprinkle with salt |

Dry cure bacon cooks best as it doesn't have loads of water in it. |

The best, but it doesn't have that 'shatter when you bite' crispness when grilled or fried normally. |

Leave it under the grill for longer?
Or put it in the oven... and watch through the little window until it looks done.

Went to Sainsbury's online to check the name of the one im buying right now but their site is down.
Generally i'll buy any dry cure crispy from any supermarket and it's crisp up and cracks like thin salty brittle !
Heat pan, grease pan, put bacon in,watch it go pppfizzzle and flash white, turn it over, done, eat.

I havn't tried baking it in the oven, other than on the turkey at xmas, that goes pretty crisp but I don't have four hours lol.
I used the best dry cured smoked back but grilling or frying only ever gets the odd edge crisp, and just starts to burn the meat of you leave it longer.
Maybe the chef was right. ..or maybe it only really works with streaky. .... |

"Grilling and ovening renders a totally different flavour and texture. Not to mention the time and cost factor.
Flash pan it. ( hot pan ) Done."
That's what I normally do - doesn't get what I'm after.  |

"I put it in a frying pan and leave it to fry slowly so the natural fat comes out and flavours it, low and slow and then you can get as crispy as you like without it ending up burnt  "
Yeah I've just looked at a bunch of videos on utube and they all say to cook slower so I'm going to try that Ave the water method ( which would effectively slow it down I guess). I will report back lol!  |

Never use water in a frying pan in a normal kitchen that's arsking for truball.
Deep fry it in a chip pan.
Or
Grill it and keep turning it evey minit till its crisp to your likeing
Or
In a frying pan with lite oil and then get a metall cake tin bace and put it on top with sumthing hevey on it to push the bacon down to crisp up.

"Mind you - all the videos were using streaky lol  "
Well yeah... isn't it the fat that makes it go crispy?. The meaty bit just goes like cardboard if you try to crisp up normal bacon. |

We buy all our meat from the local butcher, who smokes all his own meat,cheese and fish including the bacon which is just divine. His sausages are gorgeous and all meat is matured and locally sourced. I would never buy supermarket meat as its tasteless and full of water. Crispy streaky bacon is awesome, but gave to watch the figure. |

"I dont eat animals
Then why are you on a bacon crisping thread
Cos i thought it was about crisps
Well I hope you don’t eat the meat flovours 
Nope. Never.x"
The meat flavours are rarely made with any kind of animal products anyway.. Pot noodle for example has no meat in them. |

Then a grill and turn it every minute or in a pan with sumthing hevey on top is best option.
You can bake it the oven and even thow it will come out crispy it also drys it out.

Nope - had free range, air dried, beech smoked streaky cooked in a pre-heated non-stick cast iron Le Creuset on a medium heat and I'm still not happy lol! 
As I stood and turned it frequently had a feeling the thermostat on the hob is doing strange things, so maybe that's the problem...... |
