Ingredients

  • 3 lb pork belly

Seasoning blend

  • tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey granules
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

The slaw

  • ½ bag coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder
  • tbsp celery salt
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Fire up the smoker to 220°F.
  • Give the pork belly a good coat of the seasoning blend all over and place into the smoker for about 8 hrs or until the internal temp reaches 204°F.
  • Once cooked, let it rest until cooled then store, covered, in the fridge overnight.
  • The next day, remove from the fridge and cut into ¼ inch slices. Then cut into 2 inch pieces.
  • Preheat one side of the griddle to medium-high heat, and the other side to a low heat.
  • Sear the pork belly until crispy for about two minutes on each side on the medium-high side of the griddle. At the same time on the low heat side you can toast your slider buns.
  • To assemble, place a spoonful of slaw on the bottom of a slider bun, top with a couple of slices of pork belly and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Pop the top back on and they're ready to serve.

Seasoning blend

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.

The slaw

  • Combine the white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and mayonnaise in a bowl or jug.
  • Add all the remaining slaw ingredients to a medium-sized bowl, add the vinegar dressing, and toss well so the cabbage is well coated.
  • Place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
