Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pork Belly
Stab the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife multiple times across the surface of the skin. This helps with the skin crisping. Insert the skewers all the way through the meat parallel to the skin. This keeps the pork belly flat when cooking.
-
Make the BBQ Applesauce Glaze
In a small pot, combine BBQ Sauce and applesauce over medium heat. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until they mix and thicken. Set aside to let cool.
-
Bake the Pork Belly
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Once cooled, spread the BBQ paste on the meat side. Place the pork belly skin-side up on a rack over a pan filled with water. Completely coat the skin with salt and bake for 45 minutes. Afterward, remove and take off the salt, which should come off in chunks. Increase the heat to 440°F and bake for another 50 minutes.

Serve
Remove the pork belly and cut into cubes, then serve with some more Country Bob’s BBQ Sauce!
