About
When people think of pork, they tend to think of pork chops or bacon. Nothing wrong with either of course, but just limiting pork to those two meats misses out on some truly fantastic cuts. Pork Belly Bites show off just how delectable the most succulent cut of pork, pork belly, can taste! With just a little enhancement from smoky, sweet brown sugar and a little fragrant garlic powder, the juiciness and tenderness of pork belly really comes into its own! Of course, becoming crisp and caramelized in the air fryer doesn't hurt one bit! Pork Belly Bites can be served at game time or as an appetizer, or enjoyed as a particularly hearty snack: the real question is how willing will you be to share such a treat?!
