Start to deep fry the boiled meat. Heat oil on a cooking pot.

Put each piece of boiled pork belly into the hot oil with extra caution. Fry until crispy. Turn the meat over to completely fry the opposite side until crispy. Note: be extra careful when frying as oil can splatter. You can use the cover of the pot to cover it while oil splatters, but do not cover completely as steam will be trapped.

Lechon Kawali | Crispy Pork Belly

Thinly sliced pork belly that were air fried until crispy.

Crispy Pork Belly Chips

½ lbs. pork belly

Knorr Liquid Seasoning

whole peppercorn

Combine pork belly, water, whole peppercorn, and dried bay leaves in a cooking pot. Cover the pot and let it boil. Adjust heat between low and medium. Continue boiling for 60 minutes.

Remove pork from the pot. Let it cool down. Slice into thin pieces. Note: I usually freeze the pork for 1 ½ hours before slicing it. This method will harden the meat and fat by a bit. It helps prevent the meat from wobbling when sliced.

Combine sliced pork and Knorr Liquid Seasoning. Mix well.

Arrange pork on an air fryer. Set the air fryer to 350F and air fry for 20 minutes or until pork becomes crispy. Note: Make sure to flip the pork slices in the middle of the cooking process. This will ensure that both sides are cooked properly.

This juicy, crispy pork belly is made in the style of Filipino lechon kawali by simmering with aromatics before air frying to golden brown perfection
