Chicken Lips Recipe

• Chicken skin from 1 chicken, cut into 3-inch pieces
• 3 cups cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• Chicken salt rim
• 1/2 ounce chilled vodka or tequila
• 1 fresh oyster, shucked
• 1 barspoon tomato juice
• 1 dash hot sauce, such as Cholula
• 1 lime
• 1 barspoon crushed chicken crackling
• 1 pinch minced chives

1. To make the chicken salt rim, heat the cooking oil in a small saucepan until it reaches 300u0b0F. Carefully deep fry chicken skin in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain and cool. Reserve some chicken crackling for garnish.
2. In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind enough chicken crackling to make 2 tablespoons. Combine with kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
3. Run a wedge of lime along the rim of a Champagne flute. Press the flute into the chicken salt rim.
4. To make the oyster shooter, build layers in the flute in this order: vodka or tequila, raw oyster, tomato juice, hot sauce, 1 squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with chicken crackling and chives and serve cold.
