How to make chicharron #chicharrón #puertoricanrecipes #easyrecipe

Clean the pork rib belly thoroughly and dry it with paper towels to remove moisture.

Let the pork rib belly sit on a dry napkin for around 2 minutes to ensure it's dry.

Cut the pork rib belly down the middle, not all the way through, to create chunks that can be easily pulled apart.

Apply a little bit of olive oil on top of the pork rib belly to help it crisp up.

Sprinkle black pepper on the meat area of the pork rib belly, to taste.

Add salt to the meat area of the pork rib belly first, then flip it and add salt to the chicharó area, being careful not to over-salt.

Place the pork rib belly in the air fryer with the pork side up and the meat side down.

Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, flip the pork rib belly over and cook for an additional 10 minutes at 350°F.
