If most Cubans like something, it is chicharrones. This recipe that Chef Iván brings us is not the conventional one that is made by frying them in butter. Today we present Baked Chicharrones, a dish that is made in different cultures and has a spectacular flavor. We hope you enjoy the video and if you prepare baked pork rinds at home, don't forget to send us photos.
Ingredients:
  • 1 kg pork belly
  • 4 tablespoons of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder or baking soda (optional)
Instructions:

    First, square and dry the piece of pork belly that will make cracklings. You can use kitchen paper, like our chef, or a clean cloth.

    Then, mark the pork rind portions on the piece of meat, without cutting the skin. Return to the piece of pork and make thin cuts in the skin that do not reach the meat.

    Dry the pork belly again and cover it with the salt, but only on the skin part. Let sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

    After that time, scrape off all the salt and carefully remove any remains that may remain on the piece of meat with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. You must ensure that it is very dry.

    The next step is optional, add the teaspoon of baking powder on the skin part of the piece of meat, and distribute it evenly. Let sit in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.

    Remove the baking powder from the piece of meat again with a clean cloth. It should be very dry. And now, back to the piece of meat and season it.

    Preheat oven to 350ºF.

    Place the piece of meat in a tray with a little water. Make sure the skin faces up. Bake the pork belly at 350ºF for 45 minutes.

    After that time, raise the oven temperature to 450ºF and bake for 25 more minutes and your baked pork rinds will be ready.

    We hope you enjoy this recipe.

    Enjoy your meal!
