Air Fried Pork Belly 🐷
After seeing posts from involving pork belly & the air fryer, I decided to give it a crack!
Punctured with a jaccard, meat side rubbed with SPG, skin covered in salt and then into the trusty .nz air fryer for 30 min - after 30 min, the salt was scraped off, sprayed on and back in for another 30 min
The result? Crunchy, juicy pork belly! Super simple, no fuss, and devoured quick smart 🔥
