Crispy pata is one of the many sinful indulgences we Filipinos have when it comes to food. It’s simply deep-fried pig knuckles served with soy sauce and vinegar. But as simple as the dish may be, it’s not always that a certain crispy pata dish can change your life. There are a lot of factors for great crispy pata: the flavor, the crispiness of the skin, and the tenderness of the meat. Sometimes, it can be hit or miss when it comes to the many restaurants and food spots that offer this delicious dish.
