Chicken skin

Chicken skin is the outer layer of a chicken's body that covers the meat. It is a popular ingredient in many dishes and is often used to add flavour and texture to food. Chicken skin is commonly found on chicken pieces, such as drumsticks or thighs, and is enjoyed for its crispy and savoury qualities.

To produce chicken skin, the chicken is first processed to remove the feathers, and then the skin is separated from the meat. The skin is typically seasoned with spices and cooked until it becomes crispy. This process can be done at home or in commercial food production facilities.

Chicken skin appears on food labels as an ingredient in various dishes like fried chicken, chicken nuggets, and crispy chicken strips. It adds a delicious crunch and flavour to these foods, making them more enjoyable to eat. While tasty, it is important to consume chicken skin in moderation due to its higher fat content.
