Crispy chicken skin

[craigster59]

I'd like to welcome "avensis" to this thread and hope she/her/him/they go away.

Duck skin is also great...as long as it doesn't soak up too much duck fat.

Wouldn't that be like paper-thin?
I'd try it for sure.

Around here salmon skin is often prepared as a salad.. The skin does have a fair amount of meat still attached.... sloppy filet skillz

The skin is either broiled or fried... and served over seaweed and daikon.

Some sort of vinegar dressing on the seaweed and daikon... Eel sauce on the skin...

Done right the skin is like chicharrons.. or potato chips

[WPOZZZ]

I get my salmon from Sam's to make sashimi. Then put the skin in the air fryer. It is very light, crunchy and tasty! Costco carries it already made, but I have not tried it.

I heard these are good when fried-up.

I tried chicken feet at a dim sum place once upon a time.

I have no idea why people think those might be edible…

I agree! I thought they were for picking your teeth after the meal...

Our local Walmart stocks them all the time.
I think some are used for chicken soup flavoring.
Maybe some for dog food?

I would never feed my dawg that crap...

Chicken feet can be used for making a broth, they’re high in gelatin.

Not some thing I do at my house, but go for it.

^^^ I'll pass on that.

I have a friend that vacationed in Croatia a couple years ago. The very first meal they had in a restaurant included soup with a chicken head in it.

Getting these seasoned up and ready for the BGE for 2 3/4 hours at 200.

They are piggy backing with my pork belly..... Makin the bacon....

The wings get pulled at 2 hours and 45 minutes and thrown on the gas grill to crisp up the skin. The pork stays on 3+ hours.

Have some Datil pepper infused honey we are cheffing up into a hot sauce.

Too often they taste (to me) like what they've been standing in for their short messy lives. Ala seriouseats and other sources, I just pump up a stock, preferably homemade, with some of a packet of Knox gelatin. No barnyard taste there.

I had them in Asia and they were almost OK but served bare. Could have used a decent sauce. Perhaps Franks and some butter? Hot Chicken Paws!

Allegedly it's to prove that you got the whole chicken - I guess if everyone gets a head, nobody gets ripped off. Here's one from rural China, near the Great Wall and served in (even for there) a hole in the wall, in 2009.

[stevej37]

^^^ at least that one has more meat in it .....instead of just a head.
how do you start eating a chicken head...the cheeks first?

There’s no meat on the damn things. Just bones, tendons and skin. The ones we had at the dim sum place had some sort of a sauce, it didn’t help, at all.

Yack.

Off to the races, fresh apple wood from Georgia making the magic happen.

If you like that, may I suggest this:



One of my favorite IPA's out there I rank it right up there with Dogfishhead 90 Minute.

[stevej37]

The 'Florida Man' and the 'Dogfish 90' are the only two that we get up here.
The Dogfish is very good. I've only had the FM once. Never had the Resin....I'll watch for it.
