Cracklin' Chicken

I made this tonight, after seeing it online, probably via Facebook.

Only a few ingredients, and the fat under the skin does render out, leaving just the crispy, crunchy skin.

Very good!

Some sort of dipping sauce would have enhanced it, I think.


In a nutshell:

Debone some skin-on chicken thighs. Trim of excess fat and skin.

Flatten them out a bit with a mallet.

Salt both sides, and season the meat side with whatever seasoning you like.

Heat 2 T. ghee in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook the thighs, skin-side down for 7-10 minutes. Flip over and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Repeat for each batch.

Slice and serve.

Morning, Lee - a new and delicious-sounding spin on the traditional Southern Fried Chicken. I've just gotta try this one evening soon. Your's looks, well.........er, good enough to eat! Serve that with candied yams and greens and hocks and it's an instant weight gain of 20 pounds of heaven!

Speaking of Southern Fried Chicken, has anyone heard from Mama lately? I really miss seeing her on the forum. Fallon's going online later today to check out Mama's website, which I've seen and it's awesome! Hope she's just really busy and nothing's wrong...........

I'm going to have to try some ghee. If you believe Wiki :mrgreen: , it's supposed to have a nutty taste to it.

Looks like you did a fantastic job cooking that chicken, browned and crispy, nom nom.

Looks very good & DELISH, QSis!!!

I want to try it! Visited the website and saved it.

Here's some deep fried chicken that I did not too long ago. I like doing it myself, as opposed to going to most of the restaurants for some, because of the astronomically high sodium content. :eating2:

Thanks, everyone!

Sherman, did you put anything on your chicken before frying?

Ian, Mama has been busy with family, but she's okay. I miss her, too!
