Chicken skin? What do i do with chicken skin off thighs i am marinating for a chicken korma thing? It's where the flavor is. i hate to waste flavor country.
I have no idea if this would work, but I'd maybe try wrapping up some vegetables in them (carrots and celery are what sprang to mind, but I bet sauteed mushrooms and minced garlic would be even better) with a little kosher salt and maybe some tarragon (?)and then roasting them in the oven. It sounds like it might work...
i make this honey mustard baked chicken and the skin is always crispy, so i was thinking something like that. There are some really gross recipes out there and i don't feel like frying so i think i will try the oven.
Go crabbing. Hang them on a hook and lean over it with a big net to catch the crabs as they creep sideways up to the tasty tasty chicken skin. Or put them in perforated plastic milk jugs and toss them on ropes into your nearest body of water to see how many minnows you can catch. Otherwise, toss. Alas, there is no good use. Jesus, you don't have time to go saute-ing chicken thighskins and making broth and crazed shit like that. That way lies madness and honestly, good chicken broth takes whole chicken bits not just skin. Skin is useless. Tattoo it.
My dog likes to make herself a nest in the blankets on our bed in the afternoon. I leaned over to give her a little scritchy today, and went nose to nose with her. She then went to sniff my ear - something she does to other dogs, too. (I think she's smelling the spicy brains inside.) It was while she had her snout buried in my left ear that she belched, in a rather prolonged manner.
