This homemade roasted pork belly with honey has a slightly savoury and sweet flavour. A well-balanced flavour that is so addicting! Prep this with no-fuss with just pantry ingredients. The key to best results is marinating the pork belly for 24 to 48 hours. So I suggest prep this a day before and cook the next day.
