What's the best/easiest way to get the skin off of raw chicken?

I%26#039;ve attempted to cook chicken once in my life and it wasn%26#039;t a pleasent experience lol. Is there an easy way to get the skin off before prep?|||Because it is slippery, get a good grip on it, using a paper towel to hold it so it will not slip and grip a piece of skin with the other hand holding some paper towel too....





this is especially good with skinning the drumstick, which will bare itself down to the shank, then you just chop off the end and the skin on it, because it is a slippery tug of war if you don%26#039;t ...|||If the chicken is raw yo can wash the skin off - running cold water and pulling it off usually helps though its not everyone%26#039;s cup of tea. May I suggest you cook the chicken in a pan pan with butter, cook it slowy..if the chicken is cooked - it is much,much easier to remove the skin when its cooked - the scorch marks, should there be any are then removeed when y莽ou take off the skin. If using ht eover, best cover the bird with foil and use butter as a basing. Yummy!|||if you are going to bake,fry,grill damn near anyway its easy if you parboil it then the skin comes off easy and it wont take as long to finish either but cool it after you parboil it so it is easier to handle|||to be honest, i use disposable gloves and a sharp knife.|||The easiest way for me is to take the skin off is while it is still partially frozen. It comes off so easy then. It comes off easily plus can remove some of the remaining fat in some places. If the chicken is already thawed, then during the cooking time...I will take it out and %26quot;peel%26quot; it .|||buy it from the store already skinned. its easier and not even that much more $|||Specialized scissors work wonders. But I agree with the previous suggestion of simply buying skinless chicken.|||Step One Place a whole raw chicken with the breasts facing down.


Step Two Slice through the skin along the backbone.


Step Three Cut off the wings at the first joint.


Step Four Cut around the end of each drumstick to loosen the skin from the legs.


Step Five Carefully peel the skin away from the chicken, starting with the cut you made at the backbone.


Step Six Cut or pull the skin from the breastbone.


Step Seven Skin a single piece of raw chicken by grasping one end of the skin firmly and pulling.


Step Eight To skin a whole cooked chicken or a cooked chicken piece, wait until it is cool enough to handle, then pull the skin away.


Tips %26amp; Warnings


Chicken meat won%26#039;t absorb any fat from the skin during cooking. Skin will also protect the meat from drying out during cooking and will add a little extra flavor. So leave the skin on during cooking and peel it away afterward.


Almost all the fat in chicken comes from the skin.


The fat from chicken skin can be rendered out and used in other recipes|||Pull it off with your hands be sure to sanitize afterwards|||A decent sharp knife should allow you to pull and slice at any faty bits holding the skin onto the meat.|||A sharp knife, a steady hand, and hold the chicked with a tea towel or paper towel to prevent slippage (either yours or its).|||ask your husband to do it
