Baked knee | Žižkov's variation
We'll go down on one knee. From the thigh, that's the top one and has more meat on it. A good trick is to cut the skin. Into squares, spirals or diagonally. It depends on the pleasure of the cook. Anyway, the cuts are both effective and allow the salt and spices to come closer to the meat.
