Pork Belly BBQ Bites

Careful, these sweet and spicy pork poppers are quite possibly the most decadent, addictive appetizers known to man. 

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 Campo Grande Ibérico Pork Belly
• 3 Tablespoons mustard 
• 3 Tablespoon red style meat rub 
• 1 Tablespoon black pepper 
• 2 cups barbecue sauce 
• 2 Tablespoons spicy hot honey 
• 1 handful chives, minced 
• Salt 

Preparation   

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 
2. Cut Pork Belly into bite-sized, 1.5-inch square pieces and place in a mixing bowl. 
3. Add mustard and mix thoroughly into the Pork Belly to incorporate. The mustard will help the seasonings stick better to each piece. 
4. Add red rub, black pepper, and salt and mix until incorporated. 
5. Spread Pork Belly pieces evenly on a sheet tray, leaving space between each so they can cook uniformly. Place in the oven and cook for 1 ½ hours. Flip each piece and cook for another hour. 
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and discard half of the grease in the pan. Lower the oven temperature to 250ºF. 
7. Drizzle barbecue sauce and hot honey on top and cover with foil. Bake for an additional 1 hour. 
8. Serve Pork Belly bites on a wooden board and sprinkle with chives. ¡Buen provecho!
