💡Tips
1. Crush The Pork Rinds
The texture of your crushed pork rinds matters a lot! Don’t crush them into a fine powder – you want some small chunks for texture.
The best way is to put them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
2. Go Easy on the Liquid Smoke
Liquid smoke is super powerful – that one drop in the recipe is no joke! Use literally just one drop, and make sure to mix it in well. If you add too much, it can quickly overpower all the other flavors and make your dip taste artificial.
3. Chilling Time
Don’t skip the hour of chilling time – it’s crucial for the best flavor. During this time, the flavors meld together, and the texture becomes perfect.
Even better, let it chill for 2-3 hours if you can. The dip will thicken slightly in the fridge, and the smoky flavor will develop more fully.
