Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon ends
  • 1 cup hickory smoke bbq sauce
  • 2 tbsp terriyaki sauce I like P.F. Changs

for the dry rub

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • Toss bacon ends in dry rub.
  • Add BBQ sauce and teriyaki sauce, tossing to coat.
  • Transfer to a Dutch oven and bake uncovered at 375°F for 45 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For the most tender meat, remove from heat at 195°F internal temperature.
  • I make this with cured bacon ends. You can make this with a whole pork belly and cut it up yourself. 
  • If you use uncured pork belly, add 1 tsp of salt to the dry rub.
