Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Chicken Skin Chips

  • 1 lb chicken skin from thighs or wings, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp paprika for extra flavor

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay the chicken skins flat on a cutting board and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Sprinkle the skins with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for an extra kick of flavor.
  • Arrange the skins on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  • Once golden and crispy, remove the chips from the oven and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess grease. Let them cool before eating.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce for your crispy chicken skin chips!

Notes

For an air fryer version, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
