Ingredients

  • 4 lb pork belly half slab
  • ½ cup BBQ pork rub
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 4 tbsp Hot Honey plus 1 tbsp

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your smoker to 250°F.
  • Take your slab of pork belly and slice it into cubes about 1-1/2” thick.
  • Coat each cube of pork belly in your BBQ Pork Rub. Make sure that every piece is well-coated.
  • Lay your seasoned pork belly cubes out onto a jerky tray (or wire rack).
  • Place the rack on the smoker for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature is up to 175°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, melted butter, and hot honey.
  • Pull your pork belly cubes off the jerky tray and transfer them to the bowl. Shake until each cube is well-coated in the sauce mixture.
  • Transfer the sauced pork belly cubes into an aluminum tray and cover the tray with foil.
  • Place the tray back on the smoker for another 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Remove the foil and let the cubes smoke uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F.
  • Pull them off and add another drizzle of Hot Honey over the top.
  • Serve immediately.
