Ingredients
- 2.5 lb slab of pork belly, sliced into 1.5” strips
-
House of Q Slow Smoke Gold Mustard BBQ Sauce
-
Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub
- 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
-
Firebug Mild Grillin’ Sauce
- 1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cup corn meal
-
2 tbsp Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup creamed corn, puréed
- 1 cup Boulevard Brewing Co. Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale
For the corn fritter batter:
Directions
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill to 225°F, set up for smoking.
Slather the strips of pork belly with a thin layer of House of Q Slow Smoke Gold Mustard BBQ Sauce. Season all surfaces with Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub.
- Spread out the strips of pork belly on the second shelf of the smoker. Smoke for about 6 hours until very tender when probed, roughly 210°F internal temperature. Remove from the grill and rest 10 minutes.
In a Lodge 7 Quart Dutch Oven, preheat the 2 quarts of oil to 375°F.
- Combine all fritter batter ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Slice the strips of pork belly into two-bite portions. Dip each pork bite in the batter, then drop directly into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown for about 2 minutes, turning with a slotted spoon halfway through, until golden brown in color. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with Firebug Mild Grillin’ Sauce, for dipping.
