Tips

Try not to get any sauce on the skin; if you do, wipe it off.
Poke shallow holes onto the skin, ensuring not to poke too deep to prevent meat juices from surfacing during air frying, which can prevent crispy skin from forming.
Air fryers and ovens can vary in temperature, so check your pork belly every 5 minutes for burning or to see if it needs more time.
