Where can I find chicharrones near me in Boston?

Start with our snacks page. It shows what we have in stock today, so you can see whether chicharrones are in right now before you travel anywhere. If they are listed, you can order them straight from the page.

The Wild Duck is a liquor store at 86 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02117. We stock more than 4,500 products across more than 100 categories, and snacks are one of those categories. Our shelves change as stock comes in and goes out, which is why the page is the most reliable answer on any given day.

If you would rather see the full range of snacks in one place, the snacks category lists everything we carry in that section. You can browse it the same way you would browse the shelf in the shop.

You do not need to be buying a bottle to order a snack from us. Many customers will want both, and we have set up the site so that snacks, drinks and mixers can go into one order.

What are chicharrones and how are they usually eaten?

Chicharrones are fried pork skin, a snack found across Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. The skin is rendered and fried until it puffs and turns crisp, then seasoned with salt and sometimes chili or lime. Some versions are light and airy, and others are thicker and chewier.

They are most often eaten on their own as a salty, crunchy snack. Many people add hot sauce or a squeeze of lime, and others serve them with salsa, guacamole or beans. In some kitchens they are crushed and used as a topping for soups, tacos or salads.

Because the flavour is rich and salty, chicharrones tend to work best with drinks that are crisp, cold or acidic. That is a general point about the snack, and the next sections turn it into practical choices from our shelves.

What snacks can I buy at The Wild Duck while I check for chicharrones?

Our snacks section sits alongside the drinks, so you can add to an order without a second stop. One snack-style item on our shelves is Chica De Gallot Pepper Salsa. A pepper salsa is a natural partner for any crisp, salty snack, and it is the kind of thing people reach for when they are serving chicharrones.

If you are putting together a gift or a party spread, we also carry the Rokz Bloody Mary Lover Set, which pairs with salty, savoury snacks in the same way a Bloody Mary traditionally does. A Thank You Card is available too if the order is going to someone as a gift.

Our gift guide is another place to look if you are building a larger basket. It covers wine, spirits and beer, and you can add snacks to the same order.

We keep one thing simple: the page you are looking at shows what is in stock. If an item is listed, we have it.

What drinks go with chicharrones?

Crisp, cold beer is the traditional match for fried, salty snacks. A lager has the clean finish that cuts through the richness of fried pork skin, and the wider beer section has more styles if you prefer something with more hop character, such as an IPA.

Tequila is the other common pairing, especially with chili and lime on the snack. A blanco tequila is unaged and tastes bright and peppery, so it works well in a margarita or served simply with a lime wedge. You can browse the full tequila range on our site.

If you want something lighter, look at seltzers and ready-to-drink cans, which are easy to serve cold with no preparation. Brands we carry include High Noon and Smirnoff.

For a non-drinking guest or a driver, the non-alcoholic section and our mixers are good additions, including Fever Tree tonics and sodas. Please enjoy alcohol in moderation.

Can I get chicharrones by pickup, delivery or shipping?

We offer three ways to receive an order besides walking in: pickup, delivery and shipping. If chicharrones are listed on the snacks page, they can go into an order the same way as any other item.

For pickup, choose the option at checkout and collect your order from the shop on Massachusetts Ave. Our in-store pickup page explains how this works. Pickup is useful when you want the snack and the drinks ready at a time you choose.

For delivery, our liquor delivery page lists the areas we serve, and the Boston delivery page covers the city itself. Delivery runs in set hours, which we list in the next section.

Shipping is available as well. If you plan to send a snack and drink gift to someone, the gift cards page is another option when you are not sure what they would like.

Orders that include alcohol are for customers aged 21 or over.
