Chicken Cracklings recipe

Chicken Cracklings recipe

I am a fan of easy, simple recipes that do not require very much preparation. The problem with frying chicken is that it can be such a hassle. That’s why I never fry chicken. I usually bake it. In the past when I would fry my chicken. The skin would always get stuck to my pan. So, I got into the habit of not using them. I now use the skins to make delicious and mouthwatering chicken cracklings. When I was a child my mom would always remove the skin from the chicken thighs and fry it up separately. She would eat it them just like chips. We were always given the leaner parts of the chicken but my mom would always allow us to sample just one crackling. Yep, just one piece. Wow, they were so good but also her little secret recipe!

On Instagram, I noticed that many of my friends shared pork rind images. I’m not a fan of pork rinds because of all of the unknown additives. We are never really sure what we are actually eating. One day while making chicken thighs I thought. How can I fry up the skins without frying it? Bake them! At first, I made them on a sheet of parchment paper. The top burned and they didn’t have the Dorito look that I was aiming for. I wondered if putting another pan on top would keep them flat. I did that but I added another sheet of parchment paper on top to keep the mess to a minimum. They turned out golden brown. My family loved them. They were gone before I was done cooking dinner. You are going to love these yummy snacks too. Just a couple of tips. Make sure that the chicken skins are dry, if they are not they will stick to the parchment paper. Forty minutes sounds like a lot of time to bake but the time goes by fast. Have your timer set for twenty minutes. Then carefully left remove your top cookie sheet and parchment paper. Flip your chicken skins over and then put the parchment paper and cookie sheet back on top. Then set your timer for another 20 minutes. I like my skins extra crispy and this extra step does the job. I would not use a silicone baking mat for this recipe. Two cookie sheets work best for me. These chicken cracklings are delicious, crunchy, and so easy – with only a few ingredients of your choice! They are better than chips without the high carbs. This recipe has zero carbs. You will love the flavor.

DAY 11 OF THE 30 DAY CARNIVORE DIET CHALLENGE!

Hi everyone: It’s day 196 of omad and day 11 of the carnivore diet challenge. My journey has been going great so far. Today I attempted to eat a larger portion of a tenderloin steak with some chicken breasts and chicken cracklings. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I was only able to eat the steak and of course my homemade chicken cracklings. There seems to be a lot of interest for my chicken cracklings on Instagram. You can find the recipe here. Chicken Cracklings

If you are considering trying the carnivore diet, I have some tips for you.

1. Drink lots of water.

2. Buy grass-fed steak if you are able to if not grocery store. However, I also eat grain fed. Just buy what you can afford.

3. Eat mostly beef.

4. Take lots of before pictures.

5. Start the challenge for a shorter duration at a non stressful time in your life.

6. Consult your doctor first.

That’s about it.

Just in case you missed it. Here is my CARNIVORE DIET DAY 7 UPDATE!
