Prepare the chicken skins: Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Season the skins: Lightly sprinkle salt on both sides.
Grease the air fryer basket with tallow or clarified butter.
Cook the chicken skins: Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve: Let the chips cool for a few minutes before serving for maximum crispiness.
