So oup and I touched on pork crackling earlier today, I've been making it for years and refined it. I just buy the skin from my local butcher and cut off as much fat as possible. The pieces I got today wherever.77cents. I slice it in 1/2 " strips and cut into 1 1/2" pieces.Salted and Put on a grated tray and bake at max until I get the end result. The end I switch to grill only and I watch like a hawk because it can burn easily.
Pics to follow.
Pork fat taken off.

Tass, the "only" appropriate time to eat in Texas is when you are awake

Skin only, as in first pic almost transparent. A bit of fat won't hurt but I grill under the grill with slotted tray under to let and fat drip.
