Fried Pork Belly 

Ingredients: 

  • 5 lbs Pork Belly

  1. Set your smoker to 300F
  2. Start off by patting your pork belly dry and adding Blazing Star Scorpion and then add OTF Brisket Rub. 
  3. Place onto the smoker until they reach an internal temperature of 205. This will take anywhere from 2 ½ hours - 3 hours. Make sure to use a thermometer, like we always preach in class!!! 
  4. After they hit 205 internal, pull them off and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. 
  5. Once they’re rested, cut them into ¾ inch cubes.
  6. Go ahead and proceed to use the Meat Church Chicken Breading process for your pork belly. (Flour, egg wash, flour, then into your hot oil!)
  7. Fry until golden brown and enjoy!
