Crispy Chicken Skin Delight 🐣👌
Ingredients:
- Chicken skins, as needed
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour (preferably the blue triangular pack)
- 1 packet chicken bouillon (optional)
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Skins: Begin by cleaning the chicken skins thoroughly, removing any small feathers that may still be attached. Rinse the skins under cold water and then squeeze the juice of one lime over them to eliminate any unpleasant odors. Rinse again and drain well.
-
Season the Skins: In a mortar and pestle or a small food processor, grind the garlic, salt, and black pepper together until a fine paste forms. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken skins, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
-
Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the optional chicken bouillon, if using. Mix well to ensure the bouillon is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
-
Coat the Chicken Skins: After 15 minutes, remove the seasoned chicken skins from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece individually in the flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure the flour adheres well.
-
Fry the Skins: Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken skins to the pan. Fry them in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the skins are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Drain and Serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the chicken skins from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious snack or as a crunchy accompaniment to your favorite dishes. Enjoy every crispy bite!
This recipe transforms simple chicken skins into a flavorful, crispy treat that is perfect for snacking or adding an extra crunch to your meals. Enjoy this easy-to-make delicacy that’s sure to please! 😋😋
