Place the pork, garlic, onion, chili, thyme, salt, pepper, and orange juice in a large bowl. Mix very well to ensure the meat absorbs all the aromas and flavors, making sure the meat is well coated. Then, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the meat with the marinade juice to a pot and boil over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat once the meat is well cooked and the liquid has evaporated, then drain to remove any remaining liquid and in the same pot pour in the oil. When it is hot, add the meat and fry until crispy.
