These Maple Bourbon Pork Belly Burnt Ends are a backyard tradition! Slowly smoked over hot Cowboy Charcoal until tender, then caramelized with butter, sugar and BBQ sauce for a nice sweet crisp.
Ingredients
Pork Belly:
- 2 lbs of Pork Belly cubed
- Maple Bourbon Seasoning or your favorite pork rub
- ½ cup of Brown Sugar
- 6 tbsp of Butter
- Oil as needed
BBQ Sauce:
- ⅓ cup of Cowboy Prairie Fire BBQ Sauce or your favorite bbq sauce
- 2 tbsp of Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp of Bourbon
Preparation
- Start by lathering your cubed pork belly with oil then thoroughly season with my Maple Bourbon seasoning or your favorite pork rub. Set in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Using Cowboy Charcoal, fill one chimney full of coals, light and let preheat for your smoker for low heat (250F). Top with 1-2 Cowboy Hickory Pit Logs for added smoke flavor.
- Add your pork belly onto the smoker and cook for 2.5 hours. Once done, pull off and place in an aluminum foil pan & top with butter and brown sugar. Place back in the smoker for 1.5 hours or until they are 205F internal.
- Heat up your bbq sauce along with the maple syrup and bourbon. Simmer over low heat until thick (about 10 minutes).
- Lather your pork belly in bbq sauce, crank up the heat in the smoker and let caramelize for 5-10 minutes.
- Once done, pull out of the smoker and enjoy!
