With the cost of living skyrocketing, i’ll be doing some videos on cheap cuts of meat that are still SUPER tasty! In this video i’ll be showing you how to make crispy pork hock with crackling! We’ll also make a couple of sides to go with the crispy pork hocks too!
Join this channel to get access to perks:
Pork hocks would have to be one of, if not the cheapest cut of pork available. Now prices will vary depending on where you get your pork from, however you should be able to make a family meal for under or around $10! You can stretch these hocks even further and make some dishes from the braising liquid/stock too!
It’s a bit of a process to make this crispy pork hock, but it’s definitely worth it!
Here’s the recipe for the braising liquid we used on the pork hock.
– 1L chicken stock
– 20 peppercorns
– 3 cloves of garlic lightly crushed
– 1/2 a brown onion roughly chopped
Fill the rest of the pot with boiling water. You can use any of your other favourite pork flavour complimenting aromatics too!

Super super super good!
Don't be too disheartened, I've always struggled to get good crackling on a hock, same as with the head, I find the skin just doesn't want to play ball and looks exactly like yours did.
Very cool. Not seen or done that before
How timely was this…
Just bought a new po of Spanish Pork Shanks… essentially the Knuckle and Shank.
I was going to be lazy and cut them in half, stand u pp on the fat end in the Air Fryer… is that an instant shadow ban ?
Mary Jervais did nothing wrong
lamb shanks would be good low n slow.
next level cooking. not sure Id call the overall cost cheap. maybe $12 of hocks but 40 bucks of charcoal.
A heat gun works a treat on pork crackle that isn't playing the game
When low and slow pivots to OF content.
The meat might be cheap but the heat beads, lump charcoal, fire lighters etc cost way too much to cook economically ( imho ).
3 Years of uploads and not a single fish video!!! Bring us one brother!!!
Indeed, things do not always go to plan. Just my 2 cents:
– good idea to dry them out in the fridge and 48 hours should have been plenty
– I personally would have not used a brush to apply the oil but rather a paper kitchen paper and really have a thin thin layer of oil
– have not done the knuckle yet but maybe have salt on the skin for 12-24 hours while in the fridge. I can't wonder if that amount of salt was just not enough
Keep it going, love the videos mate.
Grew up relatively poor in the 80's and remember regularly eating things like lamb shanks and lamb chops because that's all my parents could afford, today you have to take out a bank loan if you want to eat that sort of thing. Sad to see what's going on in this country with the cost of living, good to see vids like this showing how good a cheap feed can be
I like your Channel Mate….But you obviously don't have Kids or a full time job.
On a previous video you used a grill gun to light the charcol, where did you get it as I can't find one at any of the bbq shops.
Thickkk and spuds
I like that you put in a recipe that didn’t entirely go to plan. As you said, sometimes it happens. Keep up the good work mate.
🤤 Get In My Belly 🍖
great video mate hope everything is going well!
Good cook,
Beef cheeks are a cheap cut in NZ.
I smoked then boated in Penang curry sauce, was amazing.
Bro love it but you will pay almost more for the charcoal than the meat 🍖 🤣 lol
It's called crispy pata in the Philippines
Just ordered your rub bundle mate, looking forward to trying the garlic goals👍
