Bourbon Glazed Pork Bell Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Belly

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern and season generously with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Create the Glaze

   In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Roast the Pork Belly

   Place the pork belly in a roasting pan and brush generously with the bourbon glaze. Cover with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, until tender.

4. 4

   Glaze and Crisp

   Remove the foil, brush with more glaze, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Roast for an additional 30 minutes, basting occasionally, until the skin is crispy and caramelized.

5. 5

   Rest and Slice

   Remove from the oven and let the pork belly rest for 15 minutes before slicing into portions.
