Chicken Skin ?

mardatha

I cook chicken thighs in the Remoska, with skins on. Then I throw the skin out - which annoys me. Could I use them in anything ?

hot.chick

you could eat them?

u could grill them r bake them til crispy and sprinkle on things?

I love the crispy skin, but it's fatty so if I'm feeling strong willed I give it to the dog

I tried it on the cat but he's got no teeth and just sooks the edges Am wondering what would happen if you put it in soup...? Liquidised it?

add your chicken skins and boil with some veg, plus water and a stock cube, liquidise - soup coming up!

microwave them for a few minutes-they go like scratchings. Pour off the fat and save for cooking.

Cut them into small pieces using scissors and give them to the cat or the birds. I put them out for the birds but my cat finds them and hoovers them up!:rotfl:

Look up Grieben recipes perhaps? It is jewish crackling and onions, heart-attack cooking but fab used as 'croutons' for soup so what the hey? I have only ever used 'raw' chicken skins for it but I don't see why cooked ones wouldn't work, they'd need actually need less energy to render down. If you tried freezing them until you had got enough to try it? As a bonus you also get schmaltz, which is rendered chicken fat a little like lard, great for roasties and has a really high boiling point.

Edited to add: Here is a nice simple recipe:

I did try cutting with scissors and giving to the cat, who turned up his orange nose at it and asked where the real chicken was. I do like the idea of using it as in the Grieben recipe - I dont mind heart attack food & quite like greasy food. TY

I put the skin and chicken bones into soup, but then i usually fish it out and throw it away.
