Baked Chicken Skins
Cut strips of chicken skin that have been heavily salted and peppered then baked.
Ingredients
- Cooked skin from a chicken
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°
- After roasting a chicken or turkey, gently peel the skin off the outside of the bird.
- Gently lay on parchment paper or a plate.
- Place a rack inside a large cookie sheet.
- Using your kitchen shears, cut the skin into long thin strips.
- Place each strip onto the rack inside the cookie sheet. The skins will shrink, as you cook them, so you can place them fairly close to each other.
- Salt and Pepper the skins generously and place in a 400° oven.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Some pieces will cook faster than others.
- Take out the cookie sheet and take off the darker skins and place on a plate.
- Place the cookie sheet back in the oven and cook the other strips another 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You might want to bake them another 5 minutes or 20 minutes in total.
- You are looking for the strips to be fairly stiff when you pick them up with tongs.
- Cool the strips and then remove and place in a plastic bag and refrigerate.
- Mine never make it more than a day. Everyone loves to eat these as a snack.
