Tangy Buffalo sauce, savory seasonings and tender pork belly come together to create this bangin’ Buffalo Pork Belly Bites recipe. Satisfying heat with a touch of acidity are a delicious match that delivers rich and velvety pork belly. Subtle smokiness complements the bold flavors while a drizzle of ranch adds a cooling touch.
About the cut: Pork belly is a fattier cut of meat but when you slowly roast it, a lot of that fat renders out and helps to ensure that the meat is moist, tender and chock full of flavor.
