Chicken skin cracklings is a delicious snack. It's savory, chewy and I like to have it when I watch a movie. 

In Indonesia, chicken skin is common that these are sold by hawkers. It's often comes with various artificially flavored seasonings. As far as I know, it's also common in some other countries but instead powdered seasoning, it comes with sauces. My problem with these chicken skin cracklings is that they they are often too greasy and small. Anyhow, the other day, I found chicken skin at the supermarket which prompt me to cook it. I honestly did not expect the supermarket would sell chicken skin as they normally don't do that. I also use pre-made chicken flour because it's way easier and these days there are premix with low sodium too. 

I recently watched a reality TV show called "backpacker chef" starring Baek Jong-won, a well-known chef in South Korea. From that show, I learned that to deep fry chicken or anything, the oil must be extremely hot, otherwise the chicken or the fried item would soak up too much oil. In the past, I never really consider the temperature during deep frying. As long as it is decently hot, I just pour the chicken or the things I am about to fry. So, no wonder in the past anything I fried becomes a bit too greasy. And in this occasion, I tried those tip, It actually works. The chicken skin is still so crispy and it wasn't greasy. 

Another thing I learned from watching cooking shows is that we have to pat the powder onto the chicken to make it crispier. It actually works too and I did not use any egg which in the past, I did. 


As for the sauce, I just made it randomly with mixture of tomato ketchup, chili powder, minced garlic, generous amount of spring onion and honey. I was initially wanting to make honey sauce with roasted sesame but for some reason, I can't find them. So, I cook with the things that I had. It turned out to be really good and I am probably biased but it really was. I only made around 5 pieces because I didn't want to go too far with it since that day was my cheat meal day. 

Have you tried something like this?
