Custom flavored pork skins(rinds)… Heck yeah!

For those of you who love these things, this recipe is for you. Why flavor your own pork skins? …less expensive, put the amount of flavoring you desire (because the store bought never seems to have enough on ), and put whatever flavor combination you create!

Prep time: 2 minutes

Cook time:.50 seconds

Ingredients:

1 bag of pork skins, about 3 oz.

1 or 2 packets of seasonings, see list below, how much flavor is up to you.

What to do:

In a microwave safe bowl empty half of your pork skin bag, then put in microwave for 40 to 50 seconds. The idea of this is to let the pork rinds release its oils and fats so the seasonings will stick. Microwave for 40 to 50 second increments only, so you don’t burn your pork skins. Then take half of your seasoning packet or packets, or one to two tablespoons of seasonings if using a barbecue or smoking shaker, and mix well. At this point if the seasoning isn’t sticking so well put the pork skins back in the microwave for 40 to 50 seconds at a time until the seasoning sticks. Take the other half of your bag and repeat. Enjoy!

I also put the pork skins in my smoker (smoke only) to get some flavor on them and it turned out great!
