Chicharrones NOTES:
- What are pork rinds or Chicharones? Pig skin that is fried or roasted.
- Pork rinds are super low in carbs, making them a great alternative to traditional high carb snacks, such as chips or popcorn.
- The pros of pork rinds are that they are high in fat (great for a low carb or keto diet), and very flavorful.
- The cons of pork rinds are that they are high in fat (easy to overeat, no so great on a moderate/higher carb diet).
- Pork rinds come in various flavors– salt, pepper, and lime are some delicious ways to prepare them.
- Pork rinds are different than pork Cracklins, as the cracklins still have some of the sub-dermal fat attached to them, making cracklins higher in calories.
- You can eat pork rinds right out of the bag (or right after cooling, if you’re making them fresh).
- The rinds can be used in many ways, besides snacking. For example, you can use ground pork rinds instead of normal breading for your chicken.
