Super-Crispy Chicken Smash Burger | At Home With Us | Food52

Mandy Lee of Lady and Pups gives us the secret to an intensely flavorful chicken smash burger. Spoiler alert: it’s pieces of skin-on chicken thighs that when cooked, become nuggets of crunchy, gold-browned chicken cracklings. As itty-bitty fragments of fat caramelize and crisp, each bite into this delicious alternative to the classic hamburger will not disappoint. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/3tTSOrl
