    Can it be put in the oven on a high temp instead of deep frying it as I don’t have a deep fryer

    I did enjoy this but it wasn’t as crispy as it could have been I think if I had an air fryer or deep fryer it would have crisped up better. But I do love pork belly also I used ginger beer (alcoholic) instead of cider because I had a stray one in the fridge.
