Lechon Kawali Recipe

Lechon kawali recipe or lechon Bocaue (Crispy Pan-Fried Roasted Belly Pork), is an all time popular pork recipe especially for meat lover. Every time i am going to Bulacan specifically to Bocaue i noticed that a lots of people are selling this recipe on side of the road, maybe thats why it was called lechon Bocaue. In Philippines, lechon always refer as roasted whole pig but with lechon kawali recipe it is just fried and crispy by cooking, but to reduce the oil from the meat i would rather use turbo broiler as a subsitute for frying. Here is my method of cooking on how to make crispy pork belly for lechon kawali.
