The idea is to scrape the fat off the skin to help it crisp up easier. That way it doesn't move when you bite into it. If done properly, you should be able to bite through it like pic related. There's enough fat even without the skin that it doesn't dry out. Though if you wanted, you could rub the fat back in as well.

Some people also trim the veins and tendons near the bone. The knuckle and cartilage underneath it can be removed too.

It's almost like a chicken thigh nugget with bone and skin.
