To never let my children eat roast chicken skin

[BubbleFairy]

So that I get it all to myself to scoff in the kitchen whilst carving the chicken? Crispy, juicy, amazing stuff. Not sure the kids even realise the chicken comes with a skin.......

Ha ha. Thought you were going to say because it is all toxic or unhealthy etc.

None of us ever eat it. Don't fancy eating skin for some reason or other.

Mine refuse point blank to eat it.

Mmmm YANBU. Chicken skin is all mine I this house!

YABU - give it to me!

My friend tells her kids she buys skinless chickens!!

I never serve mine up. Awful unhealthy stuff. that I scoff secretly in the kitchen

Yanbu Luckily my kids hate the skin so I can always feel very generous asking "anyone fancy some skin?" safe in the knowledge I'll be able to pile the lot on my plate!

You're quite right! Scoffing the chicken skin (oh, feel so hungry for it now!) is definitely a perk for adults only.

I also thought you may be another hygeine nutter and not willing to let germs near your precious babies.
Unreasonable? maybe. A bit mean? yes, but you do have a point.

Sometimes I consider roasting a chicken just for the skin. YANBU.

Roast chicken in a Thai style rub. Lemon, fish sauce and garlic. Baste the thing in it.

Thank me later. It's insanely good.

Yanbu! I do the cooking and carving, I get the skin!!

Ditto when the pork has lovely crunchy crackling with that little layer of fat underneath - it's like a small skirmish takes place in the kitchen with dp and DD2 trying to grab bits and me waving the carving knife about and yelling at them to get out from under my feet so I can sneak a bit for myself before dividing it up

The cook gets it all in this hosue. Chicken skin rubbed with oil and salt is probably my no1 food

Oh god no, I am the furthest from a germ nutter that you can get! I would make MNers cry with my habits

Up there with skin is crackling. Sadly DS1 developed a taste for that at bastards Toby carvery, so I have no chance of hiding it round him. The boy also eats pork scratchings through choice.

It's why i have to hide the skin. I know he'd love it. And steal it from me.

Cooked one at DPs at Christmas and he stole some when I was carving. I almost chopped his finger off I was so aghast. No wonder we still live apart.

Yanbu. It's called "cook's perks"!!

I don't let anyone have a look in and also have the thighs so I get more skin

Oh OP, you are cruel to all of us New Year dieters, who have lone skinless chicken breasts grilling as we speak for a meagre salad...

Ooh crispy chicken thigh skin. Heaven.

I've just had an email from Asdas new slimtaste line. They know don't they???

I thought you were protecting your little darlings from the evils of fatty chicken skin. But I see you are in fact snaffling it all for yourself and I wholeheartedly approve!

Oh scribble, I am meant to be one of those new year dieters. I even had the turkey salad at lunch, and no carbs with my chicken and veggies tonight. But sadly undid it all at afternoon tea scoffing a cream scone. Tomorrow is only the 5th day of 2017 right??

YANBU

I love the skin. Sadly my in laws think it is the work of the devil and throw it away, on Christmas day I watched all the lovely skin was picked of and thrown away and I almost cried

Pescetarian ds1 said chicken skin is the thing he misses most since. Followed closely by gammon.

YANBU. Ds was 13 before he realised chicken came with skin and its only because he meandered into the kitchen and asked what i was eating and I had to give him a bit. Needless to say, whenever we are having roast chicken dinners, he now makes a point of coming into the kitchen before the food is served up.

Nooooo Fitz!!! That would have made me cry at Christmas. Did they also throw away the beautiful crispy fatty bacon that covers it?
