What it is

Dried chicken skin is the outer layer of a chicken that has been dehydrated. This process removes moisture, making the skin crispy and extending its shelf life. It is often used as a source of flavor and fat.

Why it's used

Dried chicken skin is used to add a savory, meaty flavor and a crispy texture to foods. Manufacturers often include it in snacks, seasonings, and as an ingredient in processed meats. It can also be used to add richness and fat content.

Health notes

Dried chicken skin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fat and protein. JECFA has evaluated chicken fat, which is present in chicken skin, and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally safe, like all fatty foods, excessive consumption could contribute to higher calorie and fat intake.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
