There’s an old French recipe that takes potato chips and serves them with Creme Fraiche and Caviar. This spin takes that elegance and adds so much more but not too much. The Crispy Chicken Skins become the perfect vessel to serve this along with the balance of Hot Honey and Creme Fraiche. The Caviar bump just adds that much more.
