Depends on what you're cooking.
Roast?
Keep it.
Fried? Depends. Are you putting batter on i? Or cooking with some herbs.
You fags are too affraid to try shit and screw it up.

>>18266475
weet ik

>need it or keep it
If you needed it you would keep it. The fuck does that sentence even mean?

dry brine. use baking powder. bake first then take out and brush with olive oil and add your herbs or w/e then broil to really crisp the skin up. If you want to be fancy get an oven probe and end the broil when near bone temp is 195f which is when the collagen and other stuff starts to melt leading to super juicy meat and very crisp skin

Just season it and bake it you fucking autist.

Trim a bit. Sometimes there is a giant extra flap that is not needed.

In a curry, remove
In a stew, remove
If braising, leave on
Frying, leave on

I once made a chicken pie with thighs and left the skin on. The entire contents tasted of skin. But not in a nice way. It was horrible, and oily.

Render it.

i think it's keep as in 'you can keep it'

>>18266475
Crack a bunch of salt n pepper on it, decent amount of oil in a saute pan, fry skin down until it unsticks, flip and cook on the other side till done

>>18266652
So I'm keeping it but not using it? Why wouldn't I just throw it out?

>>18266664
Because you need it.

>>18266664
no it's like when someone offers you something and you say they can keep it. obtuse i know

>>18266475
Depends on how you're cooking it. If you're baking, frying, grilling, or otherwise using a dry cooking method, keep the skin. If you're stewing, braising, or using some other wet cooking method, remove the skin.

>>18266475

need

Gotta have some textural contrast.

Keep it obviously, chicken skin is delicious

>>18267058
Nah senpai, braised with skin on is goat, see >>18267119

Just gotta make sure you properly pre-sear the skin, and then make sure it's raised above the liquid level for the final cooking portion, and finally take off the dutch oven lid and turn your temp up for a final scorch on top to make sure the skin is crispy.

>>18266475
sieg it or krieg it?

gib recipe

>>18266646
this
chicken fais better thanany cooking oil i ever had

debone it and leave the skin on and pan fry it.

>>18267168
There isn't really one, I just do it by eye.

Fresh herbs from my garden, pre-sear the thighs skin, shallots, half a bottle of white wine reduced by half, and a few cups of chicken stock. Cook for like 90 minutes, then add potatoes and carrots and cook for another hour or so, then uncover and turn your oven up to crisp up the skin for 10-20 minutes to finish it.

>>18266475
I never had chicken skin

Is it as good as you all say? I was always told it was fattening and will give you diabetus.

sounds like a greasy, disgusting mess

>>18267530
Nah chicken isn't greasy
not like you

>>18267460
It's fucking great, but you gotta properly crisp it up. A pretty foolproof method is ripping it off thighs and roasting it.

You wouldn't understand.
