I have been recently introduced to the strangely tasty offerings of
chicken skin, skewed on a stick (not unlike a satay) and flame grilled
over a BBQ. BBQ chicken skin is exactly what it means – it only has the
chicken skin on it. Look closely at the photo and you’ll make out the
skinned chicken pieces arranged on the sticks. These places usually
also offers other items like chicken liver, as well as more
conventional fare like chicken wings and sausages.
Chicken skin has this cloyingly chewy sweet taste and I must say
it’s somewhat of an acquired taste. It does taste good, but after the
3rd or 4th stick, you’ll start to feel a bit queasy. It’s pure chicken
skin after all, without any meat, so the texture starts getting a
little…unpleasant after a few skewers of this. I would recommend this
in small portions…and its best eaten with a slathering of chili
sauce. 🙂
