Wanting to try something new with the leftover chicken thighs (from bulk again), I decided to separate the skin from the meat and prepare them separately. The skin was oven crisped with salt & pepper, while the meat was pan fried. There was something missing, so I added some colour by incorporating cheesy vegetable mash & balsamic red wine reduction to enhance the flavour.

The food actually looks bigger than it really is, it is meant as an appetizer portion. After taking the pic, I basically dumped a bowl of rice on top and dug in.
