Cooking Instructions

01
Fry chicken skin on medium-low heat:
02
Lay the chicken skin, fat side down, in a non-stick pan set over medium-low heat. Slowly crisp the skins, letting the fat render. Press them down with a wooden spoon if air pockets develop. Cook them for 5-8 minutes before flipping them over.
03
Once you have turned the chicken skins over, salt them.
04
Make habanero salsa: While the skins are cooking, put the habaneros, green onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and lemon juice into a food processor.
05
Add a pinch of salt. Pulse a few times to combine. Set aside in a small bowl.
06
Cut fried chicken skin into strips: When the chicken skins are browned and crispy, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess fat. Then place them on a cutting board and cut them into strips.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
