Season the Meat
Rub the mixture thoroughly over the pork belly and pork shoulder, making sure to get it into the scored skin and all over the meat. Drizzle with olive oil and massage it in.

Crisp the Skin
Once cooked, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a baking sheet.

Finish in the Oven
