Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast skins 100 grams of chicken skin

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Stretch the skins out on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt
  • 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.
  • Pop the chicken skins onto a paper towel while they cool to absorb any excess fat. Snap into chips.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 days
  • These chicken skin chips are delcious crumbled over poached chicken breast.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 days
  • Don't overcook the chicken skin, you want it golden brown if you cook it to a dark brown the flavor becomes quite bitter.
  • You can absolutely enjoy chicken skin chips as a high-protein snack on their own or topped with a little aioli
  • My absolute favourite way to enjoy these chicken skin chips is to crumble them over poached chicken breast, green vegetables with a lemon sauce.
