Chicken crisps are a fabulously frugal little treat and Tillie and Tom love them. Every time I cooked a chicken for Tillie and Tom the bones got used to make bone broth and the skin got thrown away. I used to think what a waste, surely we can do something with the skin? Then I discovered this recipe for crispy…
