skin-on

Not stripped bare

Skin-on describes food prepared with the skin intact rather than removed: skin-on salmon, skin-on chicken thighs, skin-on fries.

The term appears mainly in cooking and food packaging, distinguishing products from skinless alternatives.

Leaving skin on often adds flavor, crispness, or moisture retention during cooking.
