Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Deep-Fried Pork Belly Cracklins.
Step 1
To start your delicious pork belly adventure, grab a deep fryer or a large saucepan and pour in about 4 inches of oil.
Step 2
Heat it up to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 3
Once the oil is ready, gently add the pork belly squares in small batches.
Step 4
Fry them until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 5
When they’re perfectly crispy, carefully remove them and let them drain on some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 6
Now, for the next step, increase the heat in another large saucepan to a sizzling 425°F (218°C).
Step 7
Again, fry the pork belly squares in batches, this time keeping a close eye on them.
Step 8
You’ll know they’re ready when the skin starts to pop, which should take just 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 9
Once they’re done, let them drain on fresh paper towels.
Step 10
And there you have it—crispy, mouthwatering pork belly ready to be enjoyed!.
