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.......

I've been married twice and neither of my husbands have eaten cheese or gherkins/pickles. This is no accident. I don't like sharing. They both eat chocolate and sweets, which I'm completely meh about.

Jack sprat and his wife had the right idea. Fuck marrying someone who likes the same stuff.

Thanks bubblefairy
It was delicious. Obviously I ate it all myself in case it was horrible and I didn't want to inflict it on anyone else

I made the mistake of introducing DP to olives. Now I'm lucky to get a lookin. I won't make that mistake again.

Olives are God's own food!

Nooooo! They are out of stock!! (adds email to their notification list).

I wonder if they will now suddenly be flooded with emails from MN demanding they be put on their mailing list!

Oh yeah olives too. Neither eat those either. All for me. :)

Vincent Davies in Haverfordwest had them. Unfortunately I was only visiting my family so can't nip out and stock up

Even better than the skin is when you get a nice, soft fresh slice of (white) bread, smother it in butter then use it to mop up the juices in the roasting tin hot out the oven...

Wonder if I can ask for a freebie as the OP?! Ha ha!

I can't buy? It says they now are called chicken crackling, but I get a DNS server error clicking on the website? :-(

I've had a look at their Twitter account so they do still exist. I bought them in September last year.
You can make your own but I'm lazy

Haha. Same here, cook's rights.

dansmum Genius! But the white Jelly Babies are the best. Also not the Jelly Babies brand, but the big fat powdery ones.

At last I have found my people. The chicken skin lovers that is, not you skin-hating weirdos! (Said with love for you poor misguided souls)

My DD used to mooch in on the carving and try to take away my "cook's prerogative" as my mum called it.
After a few episodes of her wee hands trying to reach up to grab it I had to tell her it was Very Dangerous Indeed to come near me whilst chopping. .

YABU It's the best bit!

Hello, I could talk about Chicken skin all day, but then I would. Thank you for the emails asking for updates on our Crackling. (Previously known as Fowl Scratchings, but that's another story)

I'm sure I mustn't bee seen to advertise, but we are working hard to be back ASAP with our new recipe and flavours (suggestions welcome!)

I can confirm, it IS the best bit...

Ummm, chicken skin!

I make a mix of butter, lemon zest, garlic and thyme, mash it up and chill, loosen the skin of the chicken, get my hands under the skin- breast and legs, shove in some fresh bay leaves then add the flavoured butter in chunks, ideally cook in a barbecue, but oven works, you get a self-basting chicken with really lovely skin. Mmmm all mine!

My kids love the skin I have to share it begrudgingly. They are like a plague of locusts when the chicken comes out the oven

Ooh user that sounds good!!

I thought this was going to be an over-zealous health thread

The four of us fight over the skin - the same as if we have a joint of pork, when the crackling comes off the dc are like vultures.

Unfortunately, they are well aware of the delicious-ness of both so we have to share

A thousand sorries. Crackling (yes, it's a big ole lump of pig skin) is with the fresh pork joints.

The rule in our house is DP gets the skin, DD gets the wishbone and I have the oysters.
We're having chicken on Sunday, a bug mahoosive roast, I can't wait.
