Bacon got REALLY expensive the year before I left the chef life for the wide world of food sales. I ended up running this as a special on the bars but it's become a staple for me whenever I get the craving.

Sourdough, dukes mayo, good tomato, lettuce, battered and fried chicken skins. You get that crunch and savory you want from a BLT at a WAY better price.

Thank you!

Did you ever try blanching the skin before frying it? Here's an article for getting crispy skin on chicken cooked sous vide, which isn’t exactly the same, but I wonder if the technique could apply here.

I'm going to look into that a little more, I get how it would work by making the skin on the breast contract but I feel like a quick pan fry before sous vide would give you the same effect with their application?

I feel like it should work? I'll try it next time and get back with results. I'm wondering if leaving it with salt (the same way you would fake dry age a steak) would pull enough moisture out to crisp it without breading.

Thanks for giving me something to play with!

I should be thanking you for the interesting concept! Looking forward to your results!
