Chicken thighs are lower in fat, while pork shoulder is more economical.

Spread a little bicarbonate of soda on the skin of the pork belly and let it rest for a few minutes.

Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces, ensuring to include both meat and fat.

Add lime juice to the pork skin and observe the reaction with the bicarbonate, which enhances crunchiness.

Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, covering with plastic wrap or a lid.

Cook the marinated pork in a pan over high heat, adding enough water to cover half of the pork.

Add two cloves of garlic or garlic paste and a little salt while cooking.

After 25 minutes, when the water has evaporated, remove the pork from the pan.

Coat the pork in about 25 grams of wheat flour mixed with half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of paprika, a pinch of black pepper, and a little oregano.

Shake off excess flour from the pork pieces before frying them in hot oil.

Fry the pork until golden brown and crispy, being careful not to burn them.
