Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a shallow baking dish, season chicken with salt and pepper; roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 160°, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove skins and bones (reserving skins); chop meat into bite-size pieces. Toss tomatoes with onion, jalapeño, and lime juice; season with salt.
• Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a small skillet over medium until shimmering. One at a time, fry tortillas until golden, about 15 to 20 seconds a side. (They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable.) Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
• Fry reserved skins in oil, a few pieces at a time, until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to paper towels (they will continue to crisp). Once cool, roughly chop into small cracklings. Fill tortillas with chicken, cracklings, pico de gallo, and lettuce; fold and serve.

• In a medium shallow skillet heat enough vegetable oil to come half way up the sides of the pan. Shred the chicken into small pieces and put about 2 tablespoons down the center of each corn tortilla. Roll up each tortilla like a cigar and secure them with a toothpick. Fry the tacos until golden brown on all sides, turning once, about 4 minutes total. Remove the toothpicks and cut each taco in half.
