Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pork Belly
Cut the pork belly into small cubes, about 2 inches in size. Place them in a bowl.
Season the Pork
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice to the pork belly cubes. Mix well to ensure all pieces are seasoned. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Fry the Pork Belly
Carefully add the marinated pork belly cubes to the hot oil, being cautious of splatters. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the pieces are crispy and golden brown.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicharrones from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or lime wedges.
