Chicken skins fried and salted. Who else does this? I had skins from cutting up chicken for bourbon chicken.
My wife won't eat them.
Damn son. You did a good job crisping those fucks up. What method/fat did you use?
I once fried homemade chicken strips in chicken fat that I had rendered. It was bizarre as fuck. A few were a bit greasy due to me not having the fat quite hot enough and instead of that heavy oil taste it was just heavy chicken on chicken.
I enjoy skin more when its peeled off the fried chicken so its nice and crispy on one side and moist and tender on the other
The contrast just rapes my mouth

Just cheap ass vegetable oil of some sort. Trick is the temperature. Got to be good and hot, I use a heavy bottom skillet too so it helps keep the heat up. I run it about 5 on my electric range.

I do too but I wasn't making fried chicken.
This is what she rather eat than my chicken treat.

You should grill skin on a skewer like the japs do
Fucking delish

What's this? Like kebab the skins?
>>7756306
pretty much
Although I think they cook it at high heat

I've never made just skins, but I did go to a place once that served them. They had some kind of hot sauce on them. Shit was so cash

Did you offer some to her son?
i do something similar, but I don't deepfry the skins in veg oil. Rather, I render the skins and store that grease, then use some of it to fry the skins in their own fat until they crisp. De-fucking-licious.
Also, instead of salt, try sprinkling them with popcorn seasoning or stock powder. Chicken stock powder seems obvious, but tamarind stock powder is wonderful. Chipotle-barbecue popcorn seasoning is pretty goddamn magical, too.

I do this but I don't have a good use for the fat I store. What do you do with it?
>>7756626
Just a general cooking fat.
If I'm making chicken stew or chicken gravy, I use it there. Did so tonight, actually, as I made chicken in carrot sauce/gravy.
Stir-frying veg in it is also nice.
When I roast a chicken, rather than using olive oil to make the herb-and-spice paste/rub, I use chicken grease.
I occasionally make naan using chicken grease in place of clarified butter.
Finally, try using it in place of butter or oil when popping popcorn. Really good.
Really, anywhere you'd use butter or some other cooking fat, you can use chicken grease instead.

That looks like it would make a great appetizer for a chicken dish, maybe put some onions and shit on the skewers too.

Fried chicken skin is pretty fucking good. I like it with hot sauce or chili sauce.
Hell yeah. I cut the skin up into small pieces and just throw it into a dry pan on low while I get on with the rest of my prep, you can completely ignore it.
hell yeah, gribness.
I make it in the microwave these days, it's yummy shit. Chicken bacon, essentially

My son liked them just fine.
>>7756572
Frank's and butter?
>>7756626
I have rendered the fat and used it to make grilled cheese once. I didn't feel it was worth the effort like duck or bear fat. I do keep bacon grease.
>>7758657
Yeah chicken bacon was my thought as well. What if it were on a sandwich?
I do it with Salmon skin. There are Restaurants in Japan specializing on Salmon skin alone.
