These crispy, zero-carb, keto-friendly chicken cracklings taste delicious on their own or as a starter with delicious dips and sauces. You can also use chicken cracklings to add some crunch to a salad or soup. They are incredibly easy to make, either in an air fryer or oven. Both work pretty well, but I personally preferred the air fryer. Make sure to save the rendered fat, aka schmatlz, for later cooking.

 
  • Chicken skin
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing
  1. Air Fryer: Lay 3-4 chicken skins in a single layer, skin-side down, on the air fryer basket and cook at 180C/350F for 14-16 minutes. At the halfway point, flip the chicken skins over so they are skin-side up. Pour out any chicken fat (save for later cooking) on the bottom of the air fryer before repeating the steps with the remaining chicken skins. Remove from basket and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  2. Oven: Preheat the oven to 210C/430F. Lay the chicken skin flat in a single layer, skin-side down, on top of a wire rack on a foil-lined baking tray. Bake the skin in the middle of hot oven for 10 minutes. Then, flip the chicken skins skin-side up and bake for 10-12 more minutes or until golden and crispy.

These do look very good. I've tried someone else's recipe once and they didn't turn out nicely at all. Will give this a go next time I need skinless breasts or thighs for a recipe.

No la he preparado en chicharrones, pero la piel del pollo tostadita está muy buena.

My country of Vojvodina is really big on pork cracklings, we are even famous for buns made with minced pork cracklings that are smeared in between the layers of the dough together with margarine. Extremely tasty, but since I dont eat meat I can replace it with sesame paste, a bit of pepper and a boiled mashed potato.

They are called Gribenes ... and they've been around for centuries. Slowly rendered chicken skins! My great grandmother's would probably get a kick out of seeing their dish brought back to life.

This looks so good, Angie - that crispy, golden skin must be so savoury and addictive.
