Brilio.net - Known for its high protein and affordable price, chicken is an interesting choice to be cooked into various menus. Not only the meat, chicken skin is also often a part that is no less interesting to process. Basically, chicken skin can be consumed directly after cooking or processed into delicious chicken oil.
Chicken skin has a chewy texture and savory taste, making it a favorite for many people. Many people usually process this food ingredient into various dishes such as crispy fried chicken skin, skin satay, or added as a flavor enhancer in soups and stews.
But when you want to process chicken skin, you need to separate it from the chicken meat first. Chicken skin often sticks together and is difficult to separate from the chicken meat. As a result, some people will cut it using a knife. But even though it can be separated, this method makes the chicken skin no longer intact and difficult to process.
Instead, you can imitate the trick shared by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura when trying to separate chicken skin from meat. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using one kitchen tool. As reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (8/14), the kitchen tool in question is a spoon.

Well, in the video, this Instagram user only uses the end of the spoon handle. The method is to take one piece of chicken. This Instagram user @ummubalqishaura uses the lower thigh which has a lot of skin on its surface.

Next, hold the top edge of the chicken skin using your left hand. While your right hand holds a spoon. Now, insert the tip of the spoon into the gap between the meat and the chicken skin. Make sure the spoon is inserted until the tip of the chicken skin.

Once done, hold the top of the chicken meat. Then pry the chicken skin forward. Do this process until the chicken skin is released from the end of the chicken meat. At this stage, you can immediately pull the chicken skin with your hands or separate the fat between the skin and meat using the tip of the spoon.
