air fryer pork belly crispy air fried pork pork belly fried

🧂 Ingredients

1 Begin by prepping your pork belly slices for the air fryer. I strongly suggest
reading through the post above as well for tips on understanding the process for
getting crispy skin (crackling).
2 Take your cut of pork belly (this can be a whole piece or slices of pork). Trim
any silver skin and lightly crosshatch the fat cap. Do not slice through the fat
cap completely.
3 Apply the BBQ rub to the bottom and all sides of the pork belly. Leave the fat
cap uncovered.
4 Add a thick layer of salt to the top of the fat cap and set the pork aside.
5 Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Place your pork belly into the basket
and fry for 20 minutes.
6 Remove the pork belly and with a butter knife, scrape off and remove the salted
top of the pork belly.
7 Place your pork back into the air fryer and turn the heat up to 425 degrees F.
Cook for another 5-10 minutes to crisp up the top.
8 Remove and let your pork belly rest about 10 minutes before slicing. Slice into
pieces and serve as an appetizer with BBQ sauce or toss into other recipes as
desired!
