Bacon got REALLY expensive the year before I left the chef life for the wide world of food sales. I ended up running this as a special on the bars but it's become a staple for me whenever I get the craving.
Sourdough, dukes mayo, good tomato, lettuce, battered and fried chicken skins. You get that crunch and savory you want from a BLT at a WAY better price.
Oh man, a few minutes alone with this and I would be the CLT commander
No one rules the CLT like me.
Coalition for the liberation of itinerant tree-dwellers
Reminds me of the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation In to Society
Your CLT is huge. And delicious looking.
Fried chicken skins? Do you make the chicken just to use the skins? How are you using the de-skinned fried chickens?
Distributors package the skins separately. It's basically boxing up all the skins from the boneless skinless chicken breast you buy in the store. I got it for something ridiculous like $0.49/# and use it so it doesn't go to waste.
How much do you have to buy to get that price? Or is getting a pound ok from your distributor?
The cases I have on hand are usually 10#.
NOW if you have a local butcher chances are they're still getting some stuff from the big boys, (US Foods/Sysco/Performance) and all of them will have cases on hand. Just need to convince them to get it in and move it. Odd's are any markup is only going to be about 10%, you'll still get a good price.
End of summer's a good time to push since you'll have football season kicking off, it's good for them to sell as a game night snack.
But the skin is the best part?
If it were me, I’d buy packs of chicken thighs or legs, take the skins off, then use the meat for soup to serve with the sandwiches.
With bread crumbs, egg and then fry it for example, or simply chicken a la plancha.
I misinterpreted the C as standing for Chicharon, and the image of it cut the inside of my mouth.
In the Philippines this is considered chicharron manok or chicken chicharron.
Maybe the C stands for Chicken skin
Same here, only I can't stop salivating though.
I would never have thought to do that, thanks for this. It looks delicious, I could really go for some Chicken, Lettuce including Tomato right now.
Chicken, Lettuce including Tomato
I see what you did there
I wanna try it but can't find it anywhere. Help!
I actually got the idea from a BBQ spot in Carolina that tried it out. Really glad I was scrolling IG that day.
You could sell the shit out of those on Charlotte (airport code CLT).
Wow. I want that so bad. And the fact you use Dukes tells me you are a chef of refined taste. I need to stop by my butcher and see if he has chicken skins, I never stopped to consider what they do with those to sell the abomination of skinless, boneless breasts.
Dukes & Heinz, we might have been putting out $40 plates at night, but this is the South baby. They should definitely have it, if not they'll have access to it. They're pretty versatile. I jumped to the sales side of the industry and I'm constantly suggesting this stuff as a way to push your cost down if you need to.
Bar bites with some chicken skins, bibimbap sauce with benne seed instead of the sesame (cos it's classier right?) and pimento cheese... you're good to go.
This sounds really good to me - probably because I'm a huge fan of fried chicken skin. A lot of places have picked up on it here, and some burger joints will sell them as a side like fries.
Needs some Italian sausage 😜
I don't agree, but somehow, I really agree
I mean anything beginning with I really but sausage is always good. 😀
That looks really really fucking good.
Did bacon really get that expensive? I just buy the Great Value bacon and the price seems fair to me.
I do too, but the last pack of bacon I bought was mostly fat.
Never thought about that before, but it looks delicious.
How did you find it?
Imagine crunching onto this on an afternoon while a cold glass of lemonade awaits...
Never seen anything like this :o hopefully the rest of the chicken is also being used 🐔
Always!
CHICKNE-SNADDICH sighting confirmed. Carry on.
good for people like me who don't eat pork (piggies be too evolved to be treating like we do)
That's gorgeous. I've never fried chicken skins before, how do you prepare and season them?
I like to lay them out on paper towel or newspaper and salt them. Let it draw out a bunch of moisture, then I put them on a sheet pan in the oven until crispy.
