طريقة التحضير

Cut the pork belly into 2‑cm cubes, keeping the skin attached.
Season the pork with salt, pepper, minced garlic, lime juice, and oregano; let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to about 180 °C (350 °F).
Fry the pork pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp, about 8‑10 minutes per batch.
Remove the chicharrones with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with a pinch of extra salt if desired and serve hot.
