Are these truly BBQ burnt ends or something else entirely?
In short: Explore a unique approach to pork belly using a Coca-Cola marinade. This video demonstrates how to smoke and glaze meat to achieve a rich, flavorful result.
While often categorized as 'burnt ends' by many BBQ channels, this recipe focuses on a distinct method using 1 kg of skinless pork belly. The process begins with an overnight marinade of soda—such as Coke or Dr. Pepper—mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
The technique involves smoking the meat, jalapeños, and onions at 195ºF for 2-3 hours, before wrapping them and increasing the temperature to between 275ºF and 325ºF. The final stage involves glazing the pieces with a reduced sauce made from the strained marinade, brown sugar, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce.
