• Used as a Breading for Meat: Ground chicharon can be used as a breading for chicken, pork, or fish. Coat the meat with the ground chicharon before frying to create a crispy, flavorful crust.
• In Salads or Rice: For added crunch, sprinkle ground chicharon on top of salads, rice dishes, or fried rice. It provides a savory bite that contrasts nicely with softer ingredients.
