Oven-baked pork cracklings are a delicious and flavorful recipe that varies according to culture, but always retains its crispy and juicy essence.
The special touch when making them in the oven is that they are cooked slowly, allowing the fat to melt and the skin to become incredibly crispy.
You can accompany them with rice, yuca, salads, or a spicy sauce.
