Instructions
- Dry the meat side and skin side of the pork belly well with paper towels.
- Poke holes in the skin with a metal skewer, or similar tool.
- Salt the skin well. Place the belly meat side down on a baking sheet. Refrigerate it overnight for up to 48 hours. The holes and the salt will release fat from under the skin and crisp up the skin.
- When you are ready to roast, rub the meat side of the pork roast with the dry rub for pork.
- Make a “boat” with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil to catch all of the juices. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 45 minutes.
- Drain the fat from the aluminum foil boat. Place a small wire rack on the foil and place the roast on it. Reduce heat to 325°F and finish cooking to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let the meat rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Cut the belly into small squares. Serve it with BBQ sauce or just eat it plain. It is that good!
Notes
- Wrap the leftovers well in an airtight storage container or in storage bags. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can freeze them for longer storage, packaged in airtight containers for at least 6 months.
