Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- Duck skin: Cut into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Sea salt: For seasoning.
Instructions
- Prepare the Duck Skin
- Cut the duck skin into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture ensures maximum crispiness.
- Render the Fat
- Place the duck skin pieces in a cold skillet. Starting with a cold pan allows the fat to render gradually, ensuring even cooking.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and let the duck skin cook slowly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This process typically takes 10-15 minutes.
- Drain and Season
- Once the skin turns golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove the pieces from the skillet.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat.
- Sprinkle with sea salt while the chips are still warm.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
