typically if I'm making chicken for myself I get boneless skinless, but if I were out at a fancy dinner and the chicken I ordered were prepared with skin on, I would certainly eat it, what a
treat!
Was just dicussing this last night with my family. I used to to eat the chicken skin when it was crispy and crunchy, in other words, fried. But now, there's something about eating the skin
that makes my stomach flip and I'm rather disgusted by it. Sad too because I remember how much
I used to like it.
I always have to have at least a taste when I make something like Greek chicken, flavored with lemon juice and oregano and garlic. Still I avoid it as a general rule simply because it's too
fatty.
Even things I am not supposed to eat at all, I always take a taste and then I don't crave it...if I have any will power left:)
Usually I eat boneless, skinless chicken breast when I prepare chicken at home, but if I eat out at certain places (I'm looking at you, Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles), I will
definitely treat myself to some crispy skin. Nom nom nom!
I just remembered that the classic way of preparing Peking (Beijing) Duck is that while the duck was carved tableside, only the skin was served with very little meat, if any, attached. I was
introduced to this as a teen in San Francisco...and became enamored with the subtle flavors of this classic dish.
You could have the duck meat, of course, and most people did, but the dish was made so that the delicate flavors of the skin might be savored.
Adore it. That said, I was raised to eat every part of the chicken, every scrap of meat, and even the small bones (e.g. the wings when they're roasted and crispy).
I'm one of those wussy meat eaters. I never eat the skin and the meat always has to be well done. I even tell the servers when I eat out that the cook can burn it a little lol. I don't wanna
think about the skin, because you know what has skin? Something that used to be alive. *sad face* But it tastes so good...
I love eating the skin on chicken.Fried chicken is the best.I was a vegetarian for over 5 years but I kept having dreams about fried chicken so I started eating it again.I don;t feel
guilty.It's good.
NEVER - I can't even bear to take it off the breast when I prepare it, it makes me gag, literally. Hubby does it for me. I had tried it and I do not like it at all. Aside from that
chicharones rock!

1I know its so bad, but I love chicken skin. I feel guilty eating it, but yum!
2If it's crispy, then yesss!

As long as it's crispy crispy!
6No, I actually just don't like it
7Not a fan, not even when I was little and didn't care about fat content
8Yes, especially if it's crispy.

10if its crispy yes ... but no fat on it like sometimes when its fried! yuck ...It all depends on how its cooked
11Only as a huge treat - like on roasted chicken or while out! It's sooooooo good, but so unhealthy. Sad.
12Don't eat meat, but even when I did, I never ate the skin. My mom taught us very early on that the skin was not healthy.
13Most of the time, yes
14Yes, love crispy chicken skin.
15only if it's super crispy, and only a few bites!

As long as it's crispy but not deep fried.
18No.
19No. It's gross!
20No, I think it's gross. I prefer chicken with no skin on it.
21Adore it. That said, I was raised to eat every part of the chicken, every scrap of meat, and even the small bones (e.g. the wings when they're roasted and crispy).
22Not usually, but sometimes I might eat a little bit if its crispy or well seasoned.
23Well, I currently live in China, so I'd be hard pressed to find a part of a chicken I don't eat. In the US, I rarely eat meat at all.
(But amen on the Peking Duck. Many a nominal vegetarian has met her fall on a Peking Duck dinner.)
24Always
25If it's from a fresh roasted bird and crispy, then I cannot resist it.
26From a lemon roast chicken, whether my own made or from a restaurant, I can't resist. So yummy and so bad for me.
27No.

28I'll only eat skin on rostisado style chicken from Juan Pollo. It's so good, crispy and chewy at the same time, yum!
29I love, love the crispy skin on a roast chicken or turkey. I don't eat the fatty part just the thin crispy skin.
30gotta love the crispy skin
31Fried, roasted, or BBQ means the skin is the best part!
