If you’ve ever sunk your teeth into pork belly burnt ends, you know just how addictive they are. They’re tender, sweet, and smoky bites of utter perfection. Traditionally, burnt ends are smoked, but let’s be real; not everyone has a smoker sitting in their backyard. The good news is that you don’t need one to make them. Although nothing fully replaces the deep flavor of wood smoke and open flame, the right recipe and a low and slow oven cook can produce buttery-soft, caramelized burnt ends that rival the pit. Honestly, whoever says you can’t make real BBQ in the oven hasn’t tried the right recipe. This recipe’s got everything we love about real-deal BBQ, just made a little easier, right in the kitchen.
