Chicharon Manok (Chicken Skin Crackling)

Comparing same product from two different source of different packaging can be very tricky. For the sole purpose of making a honest comparison, I used my digital weighing scale to see which among the two chicharon manok weighs heavier. After the comparison of weight, then will proceed to compare the quality.

Picture 1 shows that chicharon manok packaged on a small plastic cup that is sold on the corner of España-Maceda St. that weighs exactly 27g for P10.00(the 3g weight of the plastic cup is already deducted). However, Picture 2, which is, the chicharon manok sold along Blumentrit near España is 21g for P5.00.


Personally, I like the chicharon manok sold at Blumentrit corner España Boulevard. It taste much better and the crunchiness of each chicken skin is consistent due to thick breading. The only thing that lead me to disfavor the chicharon manok from España-Maceda St., though it's quite heavier in weight, is the inconsistency of crunchiness due to thin breading of each chicken skin plus the uneven brown to dark color on it.(see the picture below). I'm not sure if the dark color of the chicken skin is due to overcooking.
