Chicken Skin (Japan) 鶏皮

Chicken Skin from Japan – Torikawa 鶏皮 for Yakitori & Cooking

Chicken Skin from Japan, known as torikawa or kawa in Japanese, is a flavorful poultry cut used in yakitori, grilling, pan-frying and a variety of home-cooked dishes. Japan Guide identifies torikawa (とりかわ) as strips of chicken skin that are commonly grilled until crisp as a popular yakitori item.

Chicken skin naturally contains more fat than lean breast meat, which helps it brown, crisp and carry seasoning well. Its texture can range from soft and tender in simmered dishes to crisp and blistered when grilled or pan-fried. This Al Modina product is offered in multiple weight options, so select the size shown on the product page before adding it to your cart.
