These golden, crunchy pork chicharrones are packed with flavor and texture, making them the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a gathering or just want a savory bite, this easy recipe will walk you through creating homemade chicharrones that everyone will love.


πŸ“ Ingredients

  • 500 grams (about 1 lb) of fresh pork skin

  • 1 liter of water

  • 2 tablespoons of salt

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works best)


πŸ‘¨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the pork skin:
    Cut the pork skin into small, bite-sized pieces.

  2. Boil the skin:
    In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the pork skin and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the pieces are tender.

  3. Cool and slice:
    Remove the cooked pork skin from the water and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to slice the pieces into thin strips.

  4. Heat the oil:
    In a large skillet or deep pan, heat enough oil over medium-high heat for deep frying.

  5. Fry to golden perfection:
    Carefully add the pork strips to the hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan to avoid sticking. Fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the chicharrones are golden brown and deliciously crispy.

  6. Drain and serve:
    Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicharrones from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.

  7. Add your twist:
    Serve hot and crispy. For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lime over them, sprinkle with a bit of salt, or season with your favorite spices.


πŸ˜‹ And just like that... your homemade crispy chicharrones are ready to enjoy!

Perfect for snacking, topping off your favorite dishes, or pairing with a refreshing drink. Simple, savory, and irresistibly crunchy.
