Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Skin

    Clean the chicken skin thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Mix the Coating

    In a large bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken Skin

    Take each piece of chicken skin and coat it evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken Skin

    Carefully add the coated chicken skin pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken skin from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
