CÓMO SE PREPARA EL CHICHARRÓN CASERO

pork belly

🥗Healthier: chicken skin

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken skin is lower in fat and calories, while pork shoulder is less expensive.

Cut the pork fat into large pieces.

Generously season the pork fat with salt.

Heat the pork fat in a pot over low heat until it starts to melt and render fat.

Once the fat has rendered, remove the solid pieces and strain the liquid fat into a separate container.

Let the rendered fat cool slightly before using it for frying.

Fry the pork pieces in the rendered fat until they are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicharrón from the fat and drain on paper towels.

Serve the chicharrón with a sprinkle of salt.
