Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (149°C).

Step 2

Trim excess fat from the pork skin, but leave a bit of it on for flavor.

Step 3

Cut the pork skin into 1-inch strips. Set them into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer, skin sides up. Season lightly with salt.

Step 4

Bake the pork skins for 1-2 hours, or until the skins dry and turn crispy, golden brown. Baking time can vary depending on the thickness of the pork skin. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Heat 1.5 inches fry oil in a large pan or pot to 350°F (177°C). A thermometer helps with this. Do not boil.

Step 6

Fry the pork skin in batches for 2-3 minutes to get them extra crispy. The skins might puff up a bit.

Step 7

Remove carefully and dry on a paper towel lined plate.

Step 8

Season with salt, lime, and optional seasonings while still warm. Consider chili powder, cayenne pepper, or a Cajun seasoning blend for that signature Chili Pepper Madness heat
