One of the main advantages of chicken oil is its ability to add depth of flavor to dishes without the need for excessive seasoning.

The method is to stir-fry the chicken skin in a teflon pan without oil while stirring continuously. If the oil from the chicken has started to come out, immediately pour the oil into a container. Then continue the cooking process until the chicken skin releases oil again.

If the oil has come out, continue to move it back into the container. Do this process until the chicken skin starts to dry and change color. Well, that way, the chicken oil produced will be more abundant and clear.
