Bacon + Chicharon is One of The Best Mashups Ever

Two pork favorites—bacon and the local chicharon—in one indulgent, crunchy treat? We're game! Remember to serve these with spiced vinegar to balance the richness.

BACON CHICHARON

vegetable oil, for frying

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 teaspoons chili powder

salt, to season

1/2 cup cornstarch

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground pepper

12 strips thick-cut bacon, sliced into 3-inch lengths

1 Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

2 Combine brown sugar, chili powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

3 Combine cornstarch, baking powder, and ground pepper in a bowl. Lightly dredge bacon in mixture until completely coated.

4 Fry bacon until crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Make sure bacon strips are completely submerged in oil but remain flat on the pan. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5 Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Serve immediately.
