Method
Pork Rinds Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Skin
Start by cutting the pork skin into 1-2 inch strips. Make sure to remove any excess fat from the skin.
- 2
Boil the Pork Skin
In a large pot, combine the cut pork skin and water. Add the salt and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours, until the skin is tender.

Dry the Pork Skin
After simmering, remove the pork skin from the pot and place it on a wire rack. Let it cool completely for about 30 minutes. This step helps to dry out the skin.

Fry the Pork Skin
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Once heated, add the dried pork skin in batches, frying until they puff up and become golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
