Chicken Tocino
I'm not sure if chicken is traditionally made into tocino. But it is available at least in the Philippines so even if it's a recent invention, it became popular. So I think a mention of chicken tocino might be in order.

Also, I think a mention that the sugar caramelizes when cooked so it gives the meat a sweet flavor and a dark brown color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmaldia (talk • contribs) 04:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

In Spain tocino is not bacon
Tocino is not used to mean anything like bacon in Spain. Tocino is the layer of fat under the pig's skin, as the links below show;

I believe tocino is used regionally in different ways and gather from the current article that it has been written by people familiar with a latin american interpretation of the term, which is more akin to bacon.
