Cooking pork belly slices?

[fasimew]

I've bought some supermarket pre-packaged pook belly slices and I'm going to attemp to cook it in the oven under the grill. Never cooked it before, so I need a few pointers.
What's a good marinade? I was thinking salt and chilli.
Is an hour long enough to marinate it?
What temp and how long should it go for?
How do I tell when it's done? I don't have a thermometer. I prefer my meat on the verge of being cooked, so it's still juicy and soft but safe enough to eat.

Pork belly is best cooked low and slow, in a way that the rendered fat either goes into a sauce or drips off. Under the grill isn't great!

Cut into half to one-centimeter slices and grill on high heat until crispy. Use salt as a dip and enjoy.

I did my last lot in the air fryer and it came out lovely and crispy.

Low and slow how? More info required.

I don't have an airfryer or slow cooker.

Those two methods sound interesting. Keep the ideas coming!

Pork belly slices + jerk marinade + BBQ = Marriage made in heaven.

Pork belly is best cooked all the way through not rare. You need to render out the fat and get it soft but at the same time you want the to skin crispy.
An hour is generally too long for slices but 30mins is not long enough in the oven. You can cook it faster if its chopped up smaller though.

Marinades are not really needed as the flavour of the meat is so good. Just salt and pepper is needed most of the time. But jerk is really good if you must.
Pork belly is a great weekday roast.
