0.5 lbchicken skin

removed from thigh or breast, including any excess yellow fat from the chicken

½ cupwater

¼ tspkosher salt

¼ tspwhite pepper

¼ tspgarlic powder

¼ tsppaprika

¼ tspcayenne pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken skin face down in a cold nonstick pan along with any excess chicken fat.

Step 2

Turn the heat to medium and cook until you hear sizzling, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add water to the pan and bring to a high simmer. Reduce the heat back to medium and continue cooking until the water has evaporated, leaving the rendered fat to crisp up the skin, flipping as needed until a deep golden brown.

Step 4

Remove and drain on a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle on chicken skin while hot.

Step 5

Alternatively, cut chicken skin into bite size pieces and use on top of stir fries, noodles, soups for extra crunch. Strain the rendered chicken fat into a glass or airtight container to use for potatoes or vegetables!
