Chicken Cracklings
These ultra crispy chicken cracklings are really easy to make and made slightly healthier because they are baked rather than fried.
Ingredients
- Skins of 8 chicken thighs
- chicken rub seasoning of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Dry chicken skins with paper towels. Lay skins down on parchment paper and sprinkle seasoning on surface of each skin.
- Take another sheet of parchment paper and lay on top of skins, completely covering them. Take another baking sheet of the same size and place on top to weigh down the skins. This keeps the skins flat during cooking and also prevents oil splattering in your oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Briefly remove top baking sheet and parchment paper so you can flip the skins over. Then put parchment paper back on followed by top baking sheet and bake another 10 minutes. Check on skins. Skins are done when they are golden and completely crispy. If not done, bake another 5-10 minutes. Mine took about 30 minutes total.
