Pork Belly Bacon Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Start by scoring the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This will help the fat render out during cooking.
- 2
Season the Pork Belly
Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed over the entire surface of the pork belly.
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
- 4
Grill the Pork Belly
Place the seasoned pork belly on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 15-20 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the fat has rendered. Flip the pork belly and continue grilling for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- 5
Baste with BBQ Sauce
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the pork belly with the house BBQ sauce and allow it to caramelize slightly on the grill.
- 6
Rest and Slice
Remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice into strips and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
