Ingredients

Chicken skin

chicken bones

a shake of spice or herb of choice

2 Tblspns butter (or olive oil)

Directions

I cook a lot of chicken. Most of the chicken recipes I come across call for skinless and boneless breast meat. I usually poach breasts with the skin and bone on, then trim the meat and cut it up, or whatever is called for. It's less expensive and makes better broth. (Poaching recipe posted.) I hate to throw out the trimmings. Here's what I do with them ...

On medium-high, melt butter in a medium or large frying pan. As you trim chicken for another project, lay the skin out flat across bottom of pan.

Shake on your favorite BBQ dry seasoning, curry powder, chili powder, whatever you're cooking with at the moment, or what strikes your fancy.

If the bones have picking appeal, lay them over the skin in the pan and shake on more seasoning. Turn your back and let 'er rip.

Pause from your other cooking project every 5 minutes and turn the skin until it's dark golden brown on all sides. Put the bones back on top in a turned position.

When all looks well rendered and crispy, remove to drain on a paper towel until cooled enough to eat. Probably about ten seconds.

Typically the chicken parts can be cooked and eaten in about the same time it takes to read this recipe.

If you do this once a week for 35 years, you'll die 2 days and 3 hours sooner than otherwise. It's well worth it!!

I love the skin too. It nearly killed me to leave the skin on the plate when I was dieting last year!

I did this today with skin from chicken thighs. I started making them for the dog but ended up eating a few myself.

Ah ha! now I see why you passed on the group You Are What You Eat, you didn't want to run around in chicken skin.
This kind of reminds me of pork rinds.

We loved Aunt Ella's cookies, then she told my mom she used rendered chicken fat for shortening. I still loved 'em. Waste not want not!
