Summer Chicken Skin Salad

written by Emma Tang

Summer Chicken Skin Salad FirstThis week, I want to share a summer chicken skin salad recipe with y’all. Delicious, affordable and easy-to-assemble, I can’t wait to share it with you and I hope you’ll like this recipe as much as we do.

Summer Chicken Skin Salad IngredientThe main ingredient is, of course, the chicken skin. I found it at our local Asian grocery store, it comes pre-packaged and costs only about $3 for a full pound’s worth in the meat section. I also used carrot and leek to add texture, color and flavor to the dish.

Summer Chicken Salad PrepTo start, I julienned the carrot and leek (if you don’t have leek handy, scallion is a great alternative as well), and cut the chicken skin into long strips. Now it’s time to cook the chicken skin by adding them into a pot, filling with cold water, bringing to boil and simmering until chicken skin’s fully cooked. For carrot and green onion, I like to blanch them separately and combine with the cooked chicken skin in a bowl to cool down.

Mix Chicken Skin SaladHere comes the highlight of this Summer Chicken Skin Salad, the seasoning! To add a nice spice kick that complements the richness of the chicken skin, I mixed together Black Bean in Chili Oil sauce (one of the most popular chili oil sauce in China), soy sauce, sugar and salt for the dressing.

Summer Chicken Skin SaladThis is the perfect quick meal for the summer, it only takes 15 mins to make and is both refreshing and bold in flavor.

Pair with a bowl of white rice is my family’s favorite way to enjoy this dish.

Thank you for working to make this good website. The recipes are very good. I have not made the chicken skin salad. How do you think the salad would taste if you fried the chicken skin so its crispy instead of boiling it. I know it would be less healthy, but I really love crispy chicken skin, and at least it would be in a salad. Sincerely, Debbie

HI Debbie, thank you for stopping by and I am glad you liked the recipes! I think chicken skin would be really as well, it would add a bit of the crispy texture to the dish! I recommend adding it to the end so it doesn’t get soggy by the addressing if added too earlier! Cheers!
