"I prefer the skin off a jacket chicken, bad for you though apparantly  "
We wouldn't eat anything, if we believe everything what some people say about food. |

In typical fashion I'm going to fence sit and say 'sometimes' - it depends on the situation and how well cooked it is 
Although after Kittymama's warning above I might change my mind! (and you'd never eat a beef burger again if you saw one being made ..  ) |

"Only when i make them at home. I work in the restaurant business and let me warn you all now. DON'T EAT THE SKIN IN A RESTAURANT!!"
Obviously just where you work then. Nothing would be served what I wouldn't eat myself where I work  |

15 to 20 minutes in microwave, then a bit of oil and salt, and crisped up in the conventional oven for 20 minutes.
Chicken skins the best bit of s chicken as well. As chief cook, its me that gets to pick it off as it comes out of the oven still crispy. |

Hahaha! Ok then. In answer to those who asked why, because nowhere serves baked potatoes from the oven. Infact, most places serve baked potatoes that have never seen the inside of an oven. When you order a baked potato one is removed from a gallon tub in the fridge and thrown into a microwave. Not on a plate, just straight into the micro. I'm sure many of you have worked in kitchens and know what the inside of a busy kitchen microwave looks like by 2pm. Just don't eat the skin folks. |

Love jacket potatoes, 5 mins in micro then a cris cross on the top with a knife, rub some salt on the skin then in the oven to crisp! Skin in the best part! I've been eaten those McCain jacket potatoes because they cook really crispy anyway, always in the oven. |

And how do you eat the middle without mashing it a bit, then? Tastes the same to me.

The deli I used to go to in ramsbottom did. They were in there for a couple of hours crisping up. You could see them in there from behind the counter. I know a microwaved spud when I see it. I still don't understand the reticence to eat from a restaurant microwave. It's only had food on it! |

Yes! In my organic garden I know that the skins are predominantly healthy and free from a surplus of nasty chemicals that a grower has added.
So I eat the skins - they will have been cleaned, prior to cooking, of course. |
