Besides this updated Easy Garlic Bread Toast recipe, there is also an upgraded version - yet another easy and delicious recipe: Crispy Chicken Skin Tomato Bruschetta.


I love how the leftover chicken skin crisp up while the bread gets toasted in the oven. The chicken skin brought in savory flavors and a wow-factor into this otherwise ordinary bruschetta. Enjoy with this budget-friendly asparagus soup (made from "scraps" you might unknowingly discard).


I cannot emphasize enough how versatile and budget-friendly rotisserie chickens are; and especially if you are able to find good quality store-bought rotisserie chicken, that is definitely a time-saver to making a variety of dishes, and budget-friendly at the same time when you cleverly work leftover chicken into your meal plans e.g. 20-minute Leftover Chicken Breast Salad.

Drizzle of olive oil

Toast in pre-heated oven about 5-8 minutes till bread gets toasty and chicken skin crispy. Serve warm as appetizers or snacks.
