Remove (and reserve) the skins from the thighs. Season thighs all over with salt and pepper, and set thighs aside.

In a large pot, add oil and lay skins flat in the pot. Heat over medium heat until the skins are golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove skins to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Let cool, then roughly chop into uneven pieces.

Add red onions to the pot. Season with salt, and cook until onions begin to brown at the edges, about 8 minutes.

Add mushrooms, celery, and garlic, and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms and celery have softened slightly, about 5 minutes more.

Add the 6 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt, and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Add wild rice and reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes.

Add the thighs, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes more.

Remove pot from heat. Using tongs, transfer the thighs to a cutting board. Sir kale into the soup until wilted, 1 minute.

Use 2 forks to shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones and return meat to the soup.

Taste the soup and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Ladle into bowls and top with crispy chicken skin, dill, and a squeeze of lemon.
