Not to brag, but I have perfected a way to cook them.

Ingredients:
10lbs of fat (aka raw cracklins)
2 gallons of grease
Tony's seasoning
Flat of 16oz Natural Light
Additional: Hot Sauce and Cane Syrup

Empty cracklins in cast iron pot along with the 2 gallons of grease. Drink a beer. Put fire on med-high heat. Drink another beer. Stir approx every 5 minutes to keep it from sticking to pot. When pork looks cooked (approx and hour or 5 16oz Natty's), take cracklins out and let them cool/dry for about 20 minutes. Time for 2 more Natty's. Crank up heat to high. Drop cracklins back in pot. You will then here the "crackling" and they will start to bubble. Keep stirring cracklins for an additional 15 minutes so you can cook the fat between the pork meat and the rind. Place cracklins in the flat that came with the Natural Light. Sprinkle desired seasoning (Tony's, salt and pepper) and hit it with a dash of hot sauce (I prefer Crystal). It also doesn't hurt is you dip it in some fresh cane syrup!

Enjoy!


What are some ways y'all cook them?

You just need to tweak that one ingredient.

Got an easier recipe'. Go to Abbeville, Otis Richard Meat Market. Legit and a lot easier.

But then you cant drink a 12 pack while cookig them

I will say, the thought of dipping them in cane syrup is making my mouth water... Gotta try! But I would never make them on my own. That sounds like a mess.

Enjoy your natties

Vinegar and hot sauce are just about the same thing

Fat with shin. I like the long curly ones. I can't stand the cubes
