Easy Crispy Bagnet Recipe

Here is an easy crispy bagnet recipe that you should try.

What is Bagnet?

Bagnet is a Filipino dish consisting of pork belly (liempo) boiled and deep fried until it is crispy. Crispy Bagnet originated from the Ilocos region of the Philippines and is also known as “chicharon”.

It is seasoned with garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. The meat is first boiled and then allowed to dry overnight before frying.

The drying of the pork allows it to achieve its chicharon texture.

Bagnet can be eaten on its own or with white rice. It is traditionally dipped in sukang ilokos (vinegar). It could also be used as an ingredient for pinakbet.

Bagnet is almost similar to Lechon Kawali except that is it crispier.

There are several twists to Bagnet like bagnet sisig, binagoongang bagnet and bagnet kare-kare as examples.
