Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork belly, cut into 1
• inch cubes 1 cup barbecue sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, optional

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Set aside.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill pork belly cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 8 10 minutes.
3. Transfer the cooked pork belly pieces back to the bowl with the sauce mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Return the coated pork belly bites to the grill or grill pan. Cook for an additional 5 7 minutes, basting frequently with the remaining sauce, until heated through and caramelized.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the pork belly to come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.

Notes

Adjust the heat level by reducing or increasing the amount of cayenne pepper.
