    You can purchase Pork Crackling in some supermarkets.  In theory the same cooking temperature and times should work.

    Note: Cooking time of 20 minutes is based on using a Philips XXL Air Fryer which is 2200 watts.  You may need to adjust cooking times depending on the wattage of your air fryer.  Eg. A 1600 Watt Air Fryer may need to cook for 30-40 minutes.

    Check the progress of the cooking often as you reach the first 20 minute:
