Chick N' Skin has gotten rave reviews on Yelp, with one customer calling the spot a "hidden gem" and describing the snacks as being "like delicious chips, similar to pork skins but better."
Another reviewer called the chicken skins "the best keto snacks ever," since a serving contains 1 gram of carbohydrates. People on a keto diet strictly limit their carb intake.
Though the skins are low in carbs, the brand's site says they have not been keto-certified, nor are they gluten-free.

The company says part of its mission is to reduce waste by using an often discarded part of the chicken. A representative for the brand told INSIDER that the skin is sourced from companies that normally throw it out after processing the chicken.
