Honey-Glazed Pork Belly with Memphis BBQ Sauce
Savour the sweetness of honey and the rich flavours of Memphis-style BBQ with this succulent honey-glazed pork belly. Slow-cooked to perfection, this dish is perfect for summer BBQ gatherings and will leave your guests raving about its tender texture and smoky, sweet glaze.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rub the pork belly all over with the Memphis Pig Rub BBQ Rub, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to penetrate.
Place the seasoned pork belly in a baking dish, skin side up. Add the cubed butter around the pork belly, then drizzle the honey over the top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork belly is tender and the skin is crispy. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; it should easily pull apart.
Remove the foil and brush the pork belly generously with Memphis Red BBQ Sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and return the dish to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce caramelises and the skin is crispy.
Let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra Memphis Red BBQ Sauce on the side.
