Ingredients
-
1.5-2 lbs pork belly, skin removed and cut into 1.5-inch cubes
-
Brew and Feed Ember Dust seasoning (generously applied)
-
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Directions
Pat the pork belly cubes dry with paper towels. Toss them in a large bowl with a generous amount of Brew and Feed Ember Dust until fully coated.
Smoker Method: Set your smoker to 250°F. Place the seasoned pork belly cubes on a wire rack or directly on the grates. Smoke for 2–3 hours until the fat starts rendering and the edges are crispy. Spritzer with apple cider at the first hour then again at the second hour. Alternative Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Place the cubes on a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast for about 2.5–3 hours until tender and lightly crisped.
Transfer the pork belly bites to a foil tray or baking dish. Drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce and toss to coat.
Return to the smoker or oven for another 20–30 minutes, uncovered, to let the sauce caramelize and get sticky.
Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or with your favorite sides.
