Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 350Ā°F.
Pat chicken skins dry. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut each whole skin into smaller āchip-sizedā pieces (about 6ā8 pieces per skin).
Lightly toss with olive oil if desired.
Arrange pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 12 minutes (flipping halfway through), or until crispy and golden.
Remove from the air fryer and immediately toss with ranch seasoning. Add salt to taste.
Let cool slightly and theyāll continue to crisp as they rest.
Notes:
- Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Keep an eye on smaller pieces as they can crisp faster.
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
