Air Fried Fatback

Cultural Context

Originating from Southern cooking, fatback is a traditional ingredient often used for flavoring dishes. It represents the resourcefulness of using every part of the pig, a practice rooted in rural American traditions. Today, air frying has modernized the way people enjoy this rich cut, making it a healthier option while retaining its crispy texture and savory taste.
