but what is chicken crackling? Is it similar to pork rinds? I normally don't eat that, but I'm sure some people love it.

I don’t eat it either. But …. It’s like this. There was originally cracklins everywhere you stop for gas. Pork cracklins, made locally, basically fried pork skin which was really mostly just a cube of fried pork fat.

Few years back, they started making cracklins with chicken instead. I don’t know what they fry on a chicken to replicate a cube of pork fat, but people swear by it.

But this has nothing to do with “pork rinds” in a bag sold nationally that are very … airy, dry, and light. That’s different.
