Method

Pork Belly Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Belly

    Start by preheating your slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork belly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Place the seasoned pork belly in the slow cooker, and pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth over it. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender.

  3. 3

    Crisp the Pork Belly

    After cooking, remove the pork belly from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Preheat a grill or skillet on medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.
