Step-by-Step Instructions for CHICKEN SKIN CHIPS
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, placing a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken skins dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir well.
  4. In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the dried chicken skins and toss until evenly coated. Add spice mixture and toss again.
  5. Lay seasoned chicken skins flat on the wire rack in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, monitoring closely towards the end.
  7. Remove from oven, place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease and cool for a few moments.
