Step 1

Place the pork belly pieces, skin side down on a work surface and then make 1 ½ inch crosswise cuts on each piece, being careful not to cut through the skin.

Step 2

Rub the pork belly strips with baking powder and baking soda and place in a medium saucepan. Add the water and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until the water evaporates.

Step 3

When all the water is evaporated increase the heat to medium and cook the chicharrones for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
