Instructions:
-
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken skin, removing any residual feathers, internal membranes, and excess fat. Rinse the skin under cold running water until it is completely clean.
-
Squeeze lime juice over the chicken skin and sprinkle with salt. Let it marinate for a few minutes to infuse the flavors. Rinse the skin again to remove excess salt and lime juice.

-
Once boiling, add salt, chicken bouillon powder, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine and ensure the seasoning is well distributed.
-
Gently place the cleaned chicken skin into the pot of boiling spice mixture. Cook the chicken skin in the seasoned water until it is fully infused with the flavors.
-
Remove the chicken skin from the pot and drain well. Let it cool and dry completely.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan to a temperature suitable for frying (around 350°F/175°C). Carefully fry the chicken skin pieces in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
