Ingredients
- 3.5 lb pork belly cut into 1" pieces
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup BBQ rub
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp hot honey
- 4 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Trim and cube the pork belly into 1-inch pieces.
- Coat pork belly cubes lightly with mayonnaise and season with barbecue rub.
- Arrange on a wire rack and smoke at 250°F for 3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
- Transfer to an aluminum foil pan and top with brown sugar, hot honey, and butter.
- Cover with foil and return to the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 205°F, about 30 minutes.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Get a sharp knife. I'm not gonna lie, cutting the pork belly into smaller slabs, and then into 1" pieces, was a *lot* of work. It could have been that my knife was too dull. But I was surprised by the amount of elbow-grease it took to slice up the pork.
- Experiment with the glaze. The brown sugar, butter, hot honey glaze is a good "base" glaze. Meaning, it's a good starting point. But feel free to experiment with your own ideas.
