Spec me a marinade

My friend is having a party tomorrow and he's requested me to bring some pork belly slices done in a bbq type marinade. I've got the belly slices - 6 with no rib bone and six with the rib bone. They are going to be oven cooked.

Can you recommend a nice marinade that I can sling them in for 12 hours or so? I don't mind shop bought or home concocted - cheers

I was hoping for a sweet/tangy/smoky combo with a small touch of heat. Something that will end up quite sticky too. Not too much to ask

Nice one - cheers for that. Looks just the thing! Best I slap my pinny on and start making it

Just to follow up, I made the rub and the bbq sauce and can confirm it is dynamite - it worked really well on the belly slices which were sliced 1" thick. Marinated in the rub for 24 hours, then put on a wire rack with some water underneath and roasted for 2 hours, with some of the sauce poured over for the last 40 mins or so. The water/dripping was made into a dipping sauce by deglazing with some bourbon.

I added a small dash of liquid smoke into the bbq sauce too.

Huge thanks for the recipe - my mates now think I'm awesome.

FWIW Heinz 57 Sauce can be bought in Asda
