I would score the skin in both directions, rub oil and plenty of salt into
it.  Cooking, I would turn up the oven high toward the end for a short time
- enough to heat the skin but not the core of the meat.  As you butterflied
the meat you would probably need to remove the skin because you wont get it
hot enough without drying the meat out.
