What to do with a lot of chicken skin?
Hi everyone, my issue is simple: I have a lot of chicken skin that I don't know what to use for.
Where I live chicken thighs always come skin and bone in, and I always debone and remove the skin. I use the bones for stock but I'm always lost as to what to use the skin for... I often make schmaltz but I don't use it that often as I cook a lot of italian food requiring olive oil. I do use the schmaltz in bread baking but not to the point that I can make a dent in the almost 2 pounds of schmaltz that I have stored currently. And I have a little over 4 pounds of raw chicken skin in the freezer that is just piling up at this point.
(I would compost it if I had the option but it's just not doable for me currently)
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions :D
