Ingredients

• Pork skin - 200 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
• Vegetable oil (for frying) - 1 cup

Steps

1. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 180°C (350°F).
2. While the oil is heating, prepare the pork skin by cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork skin pieces in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
5. Fry the pork skins for about 5-7 minutes, or until they puff up and turn golden brown.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pork rinds from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. While still hot, sprinkle the seasoning mix over the pork rinds and toss to coat evenly.
8. Allow the crispy pork rinds to cool slightly before serving.
