Pork Belly Chips with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

These chips are salty, hard, and crunchy just like you would expect from a standard chip, but the occasional piece may surprise you with a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth texture. The Honey Mustard is perfect for these chips - tangy and just the right amount of sweet.

Ingredients

For the Pork Belly Chips:

Instructions

  • If you’re interested solely in the recipe, skip this bullet point and keep on reading.

Make the Honey Mustard.

  • Follow this recipe. Once done, set the honey mustard aside in the fridge.

Make the Pork Belly Chips.

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Take the strips of pork belly (pictured above) and cut them into 1 in x 1 in pieces, or whatever size you prefer for your chips. They will shrink a bit, so keep that in mind.
  • Place them in an even layer on the baking sheet. You don't need to space them out much as they don't need lots of room. They will secrete a lot of fat and bake well even if placed close together.
  • Salt the tops to taste with sea salt (ASHLEYR for 15% off).
  • Note: if you go through tons of salt in your household like we do, check out this salt purchasing hack that will save you money + make things more efficient. We started this last year, and I'm so happy we did!
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, then flip, salt the tops to taste, and bake for another 15-20 minutes.**
  • They should be about done at this point, but you may need to let the middle row/area cook for a few minutes longer. Or, leave them as-is (a bit softer) and get surprised by random melt-in-your-mouth chips!
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes on a paper towel.

Put it all together.

  • Serve the chips with the Honey Mustard dipping sauce. Yum!
  • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Notes

**Note: When baking anything, I usually recommend checking your dish (in this case, these chips) the last 5-10 minutes of bake time. Ovens are not created equal, and with something like a chip, you'll want to make sure they don't burn.
