These cracklins were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cracklins didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have cooked them at too low of a temperature.

These cracklins were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would prefer to bake them next time.

I've made cracklins before, but these were by far the best. The key is to use really good quality pork belly. I also added a little bit of smoked paprika to the seasoning, which gave them a nice smoky flavor.
