Crispy Pata Recipe


The Crispy Pata Recipe is definitely my best recommendation if you are searching for a sumptuous lunch, dinner, and pulutan recipe, all in one. If you are planning a get-together lunch or dinner for your family or old-time college friends with a round of beer afterwards, then the Crispy Pata is just the perfect food that will serve both as your dinner and at the same time your pulutan (beer food).


The Crispy Pata or Crispy Pork Shank is a very popular Filipino pork dish. It uses a whole pig’s leg or shank and cooked deep fried to produce a crunchy bite and a very unforgettable yummy feeling. For this Crispy Pata Recipe, I will also be teaching you how to make the perfect dipping sauce for your Crispy Pata. Please bear in mind that the cooking procedure may seem simple but will involve some dangerous steps. I suggest you take the necessary precautions and wear proper attire before you start cooking. I also suggest you find someone to assist you in cooking your home-made Crispy Pata.

 Here is my delicious Crispy Pata Recipe. Enjoy!
