I don't remember reading about chicken skin, either. But I'm
SURE we're supposed to leave it off....because it's the BEST part of the chicken. :-) I want to say ..."eat it"...but I'm
sure if Jordan was standing beside you...he's smack it right
out of your hand.:-) I'm almost positive! :-) kathryn

I think it depends on the source. If the chicken is conventional or even the healthfood store no hormone no Antibiotic (but not organic) kind I think the answer would be no (because pesticides and toxins are concentrated in the fat). But if you are eating a pastured chicken then I think it would be fine, if not good to eat the skin. Somehow I don't see people in biblical times throwing away the skin especially when it gives the meat more flavor.

Not from The Maker's Diet, but from Nourishing Traditions, so I thought it might be helpful: 'Don't neglect to eat the skin and the dark meat as well as the white. The skin provides valuable fat-soluble vitamins and antimicrobial fatty acids, while the dark meat contains more minerals than the white.' Page 279

I could not see any mention of the skin in The Maker's Diet, but many of the chicken recipes come from Nourishing Traditions.
