Step-by-step instructions
Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my Chicken Skin Chips Recipe, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.
Prep: Preheat the oven to 180°C.
On a chopping board lay the skins skin-side down. Using a sharp knife scrape off any excess fat and remaining meat. So that you are left with just the thin skin.
Step one: Stretch the skins out on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt
Step two: Lay a second sheet of baking paper over the skins then weigh it all down with a second tray, this will keep the skins thin and flat and make them super crispy.
Cook in your preheated oven for 10–15 minutes. They are ready when they are golden brown and crisp.
Step three: Pop the chicken skins onto a paper towel while they cool to absorb any excess fat. Snap into chips.
Enjoy!
