    FAQ

    What is chicken chicharron made of?

    Chicken chicharron is a dish made from fried or roasted chicken skin that has been seasoned with salt and other spices. The skin is cooked until it becomes crispy and golden brown, resulting in a flavorful and crunchy snack or topping for dishes such as tacos, salads, and soups. Sometimes, chicken meat may also be added to the chicharron to make it more substantial. However, it is primarily the crispy and flavorful chicken skin that gives chicken chicharron its unique taste and texture.

    What meat is chicharon?

    Chicharon, also known as pork rinds, is a snack food made from the skin of a pig. The skin is typically seasoned and fried until it becomes crispy and puffy. Sometimes, chicharon can also be made using other animal skins, such as beef or chicken, but pork is the most common type of meat used for this dish. Chicharon is popular in many parts of the world, including Latin America, Asia, and the Philippines, where it is often served as a snack or garnish for other dishes.
