“Chicharrón de pollo, or chicharrones de pollo, is a common menu item at Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban restaurants and casual eateries. This Latin Caribbean variation of fried chicken comes in various forms, including bone-in or boneless, breaded or unbreaded, and is made from the whole chicken or just the thighs or breasts. . . Serve with plenty of extra limes on the side, and pair it with white rice and stewed red beans for one of my all-time favorite comfort meals.” – César

Okay but that cutting board tho 😗. Where can I get one??
Dude I was gifted an air frier by my wife’s decently divorced cousin. Whilst I picked it up to move it to a cabinet and put it up, I found it unexpectedly light and dropped it. It shattered immediately. Easy come, easy go as they say.
🤤 😊
This looks so, so good. Who doesn't love fried chicken?
If he had done a second round of seasoning immediately after it was fried, the flavors would have come through much more.
Your recipes are always top notch. Put it on the khal, please!
What I got to do to be a food tester for Cesar? All these nostalgic foods… it's 11:23pm and I want this so bad 😅😅
I had chicharrón de pollo in San Juan, PR and I’ve been looking for the same chicken since!
This may make me reconsider getting an air fryer!
I had a chef instructor tell me that white pepper smells like a barn, and I honestly see where he's coming from 😅
Hey César! You know I’m here 😉 I keep Sazón in the little packets because its perfect! I love the color it gives food too. When I use it in flour, I just use a lil garlic salt + pepper for anything fried. I tweak it sometimes.
I also use buttermilk to brine my chicken with hot sauce, Sazón, etc. Fish gets dipped in seasoned buttermilk then seasoned flour then fried.
Chicharron de pollo without the skin? Nah bro.
I'm not a meat eater, but I'll watch anything you're in!
Ha ha i have same one. For like 11 years. It’s still kickin!
That looks delicious, I'm definitely trying this. Keep them coming Caesar 👍🏻
