Step 1

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, add chicken skin and fat and bay leaf and cook until skin is crispy and brown, about 8 minutes. Turn off heat and let chicken fat cool slightly. Transfer chicken skin to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly salt it if you want to eat it as a snack. Discard bay leaf.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup rendered chicken fat with the butter, maple syrup and salt. Remaining rendered chicken fat will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
