Oh man, a few minutes alone with this and I would be the CLT commander

Fried chicken skins? Do you make the chicken just to use the skins? How are you using the de-skinned fried chickens?
Distributors package the skins separately. It's basically boxing up all the skins from the boneless skinless chicken breast you buy in the store. I got it for something ridiculous like $0.49/# and use it so it doesn't go to waste.
How much do you have to buy to get that price? Or is getting a pound ok from your distributor?
The cases I have on hand are usually 10#.
NOW if you have a local butcher chances are they're still getting some stuff from the big boys, (US Foods/Sysco/Performance) and all of them will have cases on hand. Just need to convince them to get it in and move it. Odd's are any markup is only going to be about 10%, you'll still get a good price.
End of summer's a good time to push since you'll have football season kicking off, it's good for them to sell as a game night snack.
If it were me, I’d buy packs of chicken thighs or legs, take the skins off, then use the meat for soup to serve with the sandwiches.
With bread crumbs, egg and then fry it for example, or simply chicken a la plancha.
I misinterpreted the C as standing for Chicharon, and the image of it cut the inside of my mouth.
In the Philippines this is considered chicharron manok or chicken chicharron.
I would never have thought to do that, thanks for this. It looks delicious, I could really go for some Chicken, Lettuce including Tomato right now.

I see what you did there
This sounds really good to me - probably because I'm a huge fan of fried chicken skin. A lot of places have picked up on it here, and some burger joints will sell them as a side like fries.
Wow. I want that so bad. And the fact you use Dukes tells me you are a chef of refined taste. I need to stop by my butcher and see if he has chicken skins, I never stopped to consider what they do with those to sell the abomination of skinless, boneless breasts.
Dukes & Heinz, we might have been putting out $40 plates at night, but this is the South baby. They should definitely have it, if not they'll have access to it. They're pretty versatile. I jumped to the sales side of the industry and I'm constantly suggesting this stuff as a way to push your cost down if you need to.
Bar bites with some chicken skins, bibimbap sauce with benne seed instead of the sesame (cos it's classier right?) and pimento cheese... you're good to go.
Needs some Italian sausage 😜
That looks really really fucking good.
Did bacon really get that expensive? I just buy the Great Value bacon and the price seems fair to me.
That's gorgeous. I've never fried chicken skins before, how do you prepare and season them?
good for people like me who don't eat pork (piggies be too evolved to be treating like we do)
Imagine crunching onto this on an afternoon while a cold glass of lemonade awaits...
