We're going to make two different kind of chicken skin waffles. We’re going to make one with a classic caviar garnish and one with salt baked celeriac and apple.
The chicken skin waffles
300 grams | chicken skin |
400 grams | chicken broth |
90 grams | tapioca powder |
2 grams | salt |
6 grams | baking soda |
First transfer the chicken skin into a saucepan and also add the chicken broth. Now bring this to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Then turn of the heat and separate the boiled skins from the broth. Now weigh 300 grams of this broth into a blender and also add 200 grams of the boiled skins, the tapioca powder and the salt. Now mix this till the mixture has thickened. Because of the friction the mixture will heat up and the tapioca will start to bind. Once that’s done put it through a fine sieve. Use a ladle to press it through. This will make it a lot easier. Now add the baking soda and mix this. Don’t add the baking soda while mixing in the blender because then it will start to souffle and overflowed in the blender. Put half of this mixture in a piping bag. Then add 4 grams of squid ink to the remaining mixture and mix this well. Now also put in a piping bag. Then heat up your waffle iron. Now add a little bit of fat or oil and pipe a nice dot of the batter in the middle. Then close it up and turn it for 30 seconds. After that, bake till golden. Once that’s done let them cool down completely. Do this as well with the black chicken skin batter.

Transfer it onto a metal tray and bake it at 200 degrees Celsius for 1.5 hours. After that break the top open using the back of a knife and transfer it into a bowl. Now let it cool down completely in your fridge. When it has cooled down gently remove the skin. Then cut it in half and then in thick slices.
