Fried Chicken Skin

You are going to love this crispy fried chicken skin and it is easy and cheap because you are only using chicken skin. But the most of the time the availability of chicken skin in supermarkets are the problem if chicken skin is in demand in your area. If you can buy chicken necks from chicken vendors or supermarkets, you can use that part and remove the skin from the neck. That is I think the cheapest way to do it. Since most of the time the only part of fried chicken that we love is the crispy skin, this recipe is what you are looking for if you are one of those fried chicken lovers. The recipe I have here is very similar in cooking breaded fried chicken and not the other method of boiling the skin first before frying which will look like chicharon when fried. So the texture you will see after cooking this dish is like breaded fried chicken.
