For Frying

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Pork Belly

Start by cutting the pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

2. Season the Pork

Sprinkle the salt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper over the pork cubes. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.

3. Marinate

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Frying

4. Heat the Oil

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry the Pork

Carefully add the marinated pork cubes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicharrones are golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and Cool

Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicharrones from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
