No doubt homemade ones are on another level.
I've tried a couple times and haven't quite got it done well but it was still pretty tasty.
I'll figure it out, sooner or later. Smile
When I say store bought I'm talking about the commercial packaged stuff . We have plenty of little stores that fry their own . A paper sack of warm cracklins and a couple of links of Boudin and you're in business .

There was a place down the street from the gun store I worked at years and years ago that sold deep fried pork belly(meat and pork skin).

He had them cut up into cubes and only sold them on Saturdays. My wife would come to the gun store on Saturday to just hang out and would go pick them up for us.

If my memory is correct he only charged us $5.00 for a sandwich bag full.

Between the 4 of us in the store we would eat the whole bag.

There is a Mexican supermarket no to far from my house that also sells hot food. They also sell the fried pork belly and every so often we will pick some up.

Great snack. My son-in-law buys them at a Mexican mart in Santa Fe by the sheet. I love the chicharrones with chile colorado and queso.

Great taste to them when fresh.


Sometimes they're warm and still popping. Good stuff!

You remind me of some old ladies at work who adopted me. They would always "make" me join them at lunch and it was a shared lunch.

One time, they brought out skinless chicken because they were trying to eat healthy. Then they brought out the deep fried chicken skins. Everyone dived in and said, it's healthy now that all the cholesterol has been fried out.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Pretty sure you need to dehydrate the skins before frying to get them right.

Now find a place around you that makes Chicharron Burritos. Nice soft Chicharron with beans… A spiritual experience wrapped in a flour tortilla.

If you get the opportunity to try the 4505 Brand of pork rinds, be certain to try them. The Tajin and lime flavor are absolutely scrumptious.

Costco carries them from time to time and they are worth every cent. By Fay the most tasty pork rinds I have ever had. You can get a six ounce (Costco sized bag) for $6.

If you ever find yourself driving through eastern KS do yourself a favor and detour over to Bronson, KS for a stop at Perry’s Pork Rinds. You’ll be glad you did.

I still remember, about 70 yrs or so ago, my grandad lecturing one of my country cousins as to how a man best know who made his drinking whiskey and who made his home-made pork rinds. Now, I know why he cautioned on the whiskey on account of I have actually seen a dead rat or two floating around in the barrels of mash. I have no idea what he was concerned about as to the pork rinds. Confused

I must be a picky eater. I'm basically a carnivore, always have been. I get how folks can eat animal parts but I have a stopping point. Brains is one, testicles is another, and skin is yet another. Where I grew up (south easter Idaho) all were common edibles. I just can't choke that stuff down. I've never given a thought to healthy or not on the stuff I eat.

Doesn't surprise me that you watch and endorse these videos. Roll Eyes

To the topic at hand, I'll crave a pork rind now and then, but I'll eat 5 or 6 and be over it... Big Grin

Saying they are worse is just not accurate.


^^^^^^. This.

Nothing wrong with any of them. Eat up and enjoy!

ETA: The only concerns I would have with them is which oil they are fried in and what chemicals are used for the flavors.


They are fried in fresh rendered pork lard
