Hi lobo!

Good to see you!

The only times I've made chicharones were when I've bought a fresh pork shoulder.

I removed the rind with most of the fat underneath it. Cut it into squares and placed them in a foiled pan. Slow roasted in a 250-300 oven until a lot of the fat has rendered out and the cracklings are crispy. Sprinkle with salt.

Heaven on a plate! People gobble them up!

Now, I have to tell you - the rinds are quite hard and chewy. If you fix them this way, you may want to trim the rind off and just go with the chunks of fat.

Some people fry them to render out the fat.

Another way is to get some pork belly, but the only belly I can get around here is fairly meaty.
