Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs pork back fat and skin
  • cooking oil or peanut oil
  • sea salt optional spices (paprika, garlic powder and onion powder)
  • pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 250F. Put a wire rack over a baking sheet or line the baking sheet with parchment paper to drain the excess fat while baking.
  2. With a sharp knife, cut the pork skin and fat into long strips, about 2 to 3 inches wide. Trim some of the fat. A thin layer of fat is okay, and adds to the flavor.
  3. Cut each strip into 2 inch squares or bite size. Arrange the pork rinds on the wire rack or parchment paper skin side up and fat side down.
  4. Bake for about 3 hours or until the skin is dried out.
  5. To cook the pork rinds in the pork fat, place the fat into a large saucepan over medium low heat. Cook it until it liquifies (around 2 hours).
  6. To cook in oil, heat it to a depth of ⅓ in the pan. Oil should be hot but not bubbling.
  7. When the baking time is up, add pork rinds and cook them until they bubble and puff up, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately your choice of seasoning.
