Chicken Cracklins

Author Notes: Cracklins are the perfect savory movie snack and a great way to use leftover skin, for those of you who break down whole birds for skinless breast or thigh preparations. Crisp and chickeny with a bit of salt, they'll remind of your favorite roast chicken but without making a meal of it. They take little time in the oven, and prep is simple. Make sure to save the fat that renders out for later cooking. - adashofbitters
Serves 2
- chicken skin
- flaky sea salt, for finishing
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place chicken skin on the parchment. Put another piece of parchment on top of the skin, and a second sheet pan on top. Place in the oven, weighted down with a heavy pot, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Ha--this is exactly what I do, except I sandwich with a silpat. I also do it for precooked skin that has gotten flabby in the fridge from a leftover roast chicken.

Love it. The best/easiest recipe I've found for these. I like to break them up into the filling of my papusas for a little crunch.

My mother-in-law makes a version of these, but they're not flattened. Yours seem super easy to prepare, and just as decadent as hers. I'm making them.

In the Philippines they have a version of this called chicharon manok (chicken chicharrones). Truly addictive. I really like your method -- in the oven rather than deep-frying. I'll be trying this!

Fun snack. Easier than pork rinds!

Wow. I have a feeling these might be a bit addictive. . .
