Bag O' Skins

      This morning I was listening to Joel Riley, early morning host of Columbus radio station 610 WTVN when he broke the news story of the launching of a new KFC product: chicken skins without the chicken.
      Apparently one can now buy a bag of chicken skins. This is obviously a development born of the generally-accepted narrative that what people love about Kentucky Fried Chicken is the chicken skin; that we in fact buy the chicken so that we can peel off the skin and gobble it down.
      But then we're left to deal with the naked chicken, which holds far less charm without its crispy, tasty, covering.
       Which creates the perennial KFC paradox: The chicken derives its worth from the skin, but the skin is 'way yummier than the chicken.
      Perhaps some South Park afficionados recall the episode a few years ago in which one of the kids’ mothers buys a bucket of KFC for her son and his friends to share.  But one of the boys, t
he ever-opprobrious Cartman,

​...sneaks into the kitchen and eats all the skin off all the KFC.
    Cartman gets extremely sick to his stomach,

​
...and his friends are so angry with him that they decide to ignore him and act like he's not among them.

      Cartman subsequently believes that he's become a ghost, having died from eating all the chicken skins.
      Anyway, the point is that everybody knows the skin is the best part.
      I suppose it's amazing that no one came up with the idea of chickenless skin sooner.
      Perhaps even more amazing to us Americans is that this idea was not born here in our country, the origin of Kentucky Fried Chicken as well as  many of the other addictive links in the unhealthy food chain.
​        
    The chickenless skin concept actually rose up in Indonesia,

...where it is currently available exclusively at six KFC locations throughout that country, specifically in Cideng, MT Haryono, Kelapa Gading, Salemba, Kemang and Kalimalang.

     Apparently the item has been selling out faster than the stores can produce it.
      So what do you think of that, America?

Thanks for the tip on draining ground beef. That’s the part I hate about cooking bulk amounts of ground beef and I never thought of lining a bowl to catch the grease

This sounds wonderful and I’m making it tomorrow night! The question I have is: I don’t have Sherry (or any alcohol) is there something else I can use? I don’t want to buy a bottle use a little then have it go bad. I love your recipes and have tried quite a few of them.
