About Baked chicken skins

Baked chicken skins are a crispy, flavorful snack or garnish made from the outer layer of chicken, typically seasoned and baked until crunchy. Originating as a byproduct of various global cuisines that utilize the whole bird, they are especially popular in Southern and Asian cooking. This dish is rich in protein but also contains significant amounts of fat, including both saturated and unsaturated varieties. While chicken skins provide essential nutrients like collagen, which supports skin, joint, and bone health, they are calorie-dense and high in sodium when heavily seasoned. Moderation is key for those monitoring their cholesterol or aiming for a heart-healthy diet. Baked preparation offers a lighter alternative to fried versions, preserving the indulgent texture while reducing added oils. Perfect for low-carb or keto diets, baked chicken skins combine indulgence with a touch of practicality in the culinary world.
