– Boning out thighs is really easy. Pop that skin off. I take my skin and I’m gonna lay it out on a piece of parchment paper ’cause I’m gonna crisp those skins up. Neutral oil. The extra oil is gonna help it brown a little more evenly and crisp more evenly.

Rub it down a little, season, salt and pepper, right? I want it to be crispy and just a little bit of bite from that pepper. They’re seasoned up. I’m gonna throw ’em in the oven at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes. This is gonna add a really nice crunchy texture

To our final dish. [chicken skin banging] That’s what we want. Big, nice chunks of chicken skin.

  1. The oil is NOT necessary! I love doing this when I make curry chicken, but even with just 6 skins on a sheet tray I end up with a small pool of chicken grease (which is delicious to fry with so save it!)
