Howard's Crispy Fried Chicken Skins - Chicharrones de Pollo, 1.5oz, Pack of 4

Didn't like them they taste bad

The first thing that caught my attention when opening this product's packaging was the difference of the actual product from the images shown in the advertising. What were shown in the advertising as fairly large pieces of chicken skin were in actuality crumbled bits of something I assumed was chicken skin. Taste testing the product was an interesting experience. Some of the pieces were very crunchy and tasty. Some were not. I have included in the pictures a silver dollar for scale to show the size of the pieces and the size of the serving. A feather that was attached to one of the larger pieces is pictured separately. The feather really didn't bother me that much. I've gotten feathers from Colonel Sandals before. This is the 3rd package that I have opened and the other 2 were much the same as this one. Maybe more smaller pieces in those, but this one is indicative of what you get. Pretty pricey for what you get. I gave the product one star only because I assume that what is in the package is what is supposed to be in the package. Not to my taste. Very disappointed. I love chicken skin, usually. But my Malinois loves them.

Firstly, it was delivered well and on time. The bag (actual snack bag, not the Amazon packaging it was in) was difficult to open so I had to use scissors. I was hoping that was an indicator of freshness. It seems it was but unfortunately it sealed a not so great batch. Upon the first look, I noticed they were darker golden brown in color. And to no surprise there is a burnt taste to them. There are about 2-3 in this bag that are lighter golden color, that don’t taste as burnt. They almost taste like pork cracklings from how overcooked they are. A little disappointing because I love how chicken skins are usually easier to chew since they’re not as hard. I’m really hoping the other bags aren’t all like this.I honestly ordered these just because I was curious about this brand. I’ve had another brand that was so delicious, it had me craving chicken skins ..like right at that moment lol! The shipping on these were faster so I said, “why not?” while I wait on my other brand to arrive. (Yeah, the struggle was real and I ordered both.) Well, so far, I don’t think I’ll be giving these another go unless the other bags redeem themselves. I feel like I overpaid for pork rinds :( the more I reach into this bag the less they taste like chicken. Argh.. I will update if I have any better news with the rest!

I was looking for different snacks I can have on Keto and found out about chicken skin chips. Have tried other brands so far which price their bags for way to much for what you're getting. I came across these and thought I would give a try. Just received my box today and brought a bag with me to work. I am currently finishing up said bag as I type this, and can say I am very impressed. The amount you get in the bag is better than the other brands for sure... A girl gotta eat. The chips are a bit oilier than the other brands I have; but the taste is delicious and I will definitely be buying this again. I have seen other comments here talking about their chicken skin being rancid or whatever. I guess I'm lucky to have a good batch!I do wish they had other flavors though. However I am very impressed, and I don't leave reviews for just anyone.

These are supposed to be chips. They were delivered in a brown paper bag and smashed flat. There aren’t any pieces bigger than a cornflake. That’s just not right. Amazon did give me my money back for them, but I just want everyone to know that if you receive them, they don’t put them in a box and they’re crushed. The flavor is good.

I hadn't heard of chicken skins until about a month ago and I ordered some of a different brand. I was disappointed for a number of reasons, mainly the price, the quantity and the fact there were only a few bigger pieces and essentially a bunch of crumbs. But the taste was great!I decided to give these a try as they are much less expensive than the other ones. Some of the reviewers here said they were greasy, too salty and some pieces had feathers attached! I haven't found that to be the case so far. They weren't greasy at all and although I wouldn't mind if they were less salty, it's not so bad that it's even worth mentioning other than to contrast with some others' opinions of them; I didn't find the saltiness excessive by any stretch.The 1.5 oz bags cost less each than the 1 oz bags of the other brand, and the delivery was much faster so if I'm going to continue buying chicken skins, it'll probably be these.Chicken skins taste amazing to me. The crunch, the flavor and the expected meat-like taste are unique and hard to duplicate with other snack chips or pork skins. These taste as good as the others I mentioned and there's more of them so...no brainer there. I haven't eaten all four bags yet but the one I did finish had no feathers. There were a lot of small pieces, similar to the other brand, but I'm thinking that might be just the nature of these things. I deducted a star for that anyway because I'd rather have more of the larger pieces.Overall, I like them quite a lot and will probably keep buying them until I get 'burned out' on them or get tired of the price, even though they're less pricey than the other brand. If you've never tried chicken skins, I'd suggest giving them a try. With this brand, if you don't like them, at least you'd be out less money!

I ordered once before and they were great, so this time I ordered double the amount. Every single bag was in date but rancid! I noticed it smelled a bit strange and when I tasted it, there was definitely something wrong. The fried chicken skin was not crispy, it was spongy in texture and tasted really bad. I opened a second bag and it was the same, rancid, spongy, and stale. All 8 bags were bad. Now I can never get this brand again because I can’t trust it.
