Honey Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Instructions
Dry the Pork Belly Remove the pork belly strips from the honey chipotle brine and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Because the brine contains honey, the pork belly will naturally caramelize quickly during cooking. Drying the strips well helps create crisp edges instead of burning the sugars
Season Lightly The brine already adds sweetness, smoke, spice, and salt, so keep the seasoning simple.Lightly season with:• Black pepper• Garlic powder• Optional smoked paprika or Dan-O’s Original Avoid sugary rubs or sweet seasonings since the brine already provides plenty of caramelization
Air Fryer Method (Fast + Crispy)1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.2. Cook pork belly strips for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.The honey from the brine creates an incredible caramelized crust.Optional finishing drizzle:Warm a little honey with lime juice and a pinch of chili powder, then drizzle over the strips before serving.
