If you have purchased and tried several brands of Chicharrones?  What do you like the best and why?  I can eat these dudes with happiness, but the wife hates the idea of them even being in the house.  I would like to find a super high quality, thin and fresh Chicharrones that she may learn to like.   I want ones that are very clean without a bunch of added junk or chemicals.

Here are some that Amazon buyers rank high.....  I am sure these are on the pricey side, but remember... I am trying to win the wife over.

 

 

 

 

I honestly don’t know where to get these without chemicals or seed oils

but if you can help find a supplier I would stock up 

Find an old broke down BBQ joint (and it may be a geographical challenge). We have several here and they sell bags straight from the grill/fryer. From skins cooked down to cracklings. 

After you get past the tongue, then the fatty stomach meat, and on somedays the tenderloin, the skins can be the best part of the pig.

It didn't load on the above post. We oil him down throughout the cook to keep the skins moist. Once we flip him and the chopping is done, it is all about the skins.

My go to brand is Mac’s original. They have no seasonings other than a little salt and they are fried in their own lard.

Any flavored ones are probably going to have sugar in them or something else that we don’t want and not all of them are fried in their own oils. Some are fried in seed oils so you’ve got to do your research.

I don’t know about your area but we get our Mac’s at Wally World.
