Most of us can agree that crispy chicken is the best kind of chicken. However, getting the chicken skin to be perfectly (or even satisfyingly) crispy can be a real challenge. Pay too much attention, and the chicken turns out soggy. Don’t pay enough attention, and your end up with chicken that’s crispy because it’s actually burnt. Luckily, TikTok has an easy hack for this as well.
Chicago-based TikTok chef Mohammad Yasin recently shared a trick that will help you achieve perfect crispy chicken skin every time. And, as it turns out, you don’t need fancy ingredients or expensive cookware to pull it off.
How Does It Work?
According to Yasin, in order to ensure the chicken has crispy skin, all you need to do is pour boiling water over it before you cook it.
“Boiling water tightens up chicken skin and makes your wings crispy after you cook them,” said Yasin while demonstrating his hack.
The clip quickly became viral, racking up 15 million views and receiving countless positive comments from people who actually tried the trick.
“I say this from the bottom of my heart….Thank you for this,” one TikTok user wrote in the comment section.
