BBQ Pork Belly Bites with Honey Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork belly
• 1 cup honey
• 1 4 soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 4 cloves garlic
• 4 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. 2

   Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and apple cider vinegar to create the marinade.

4. 4

   Pour the marinade over the pork belly cubes and toss well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

5. 5

   After marinating, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Once seared, transfer the pork belly bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, flipping halfway through.

7. 7

   While the pork belly is baking, prepare the honey glaze by simmering the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.

8. 8

   After 1 hour, remove the pork belly bites from the oven and drizzle them with the thickened honey glaze.

9. 9

   Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
