Steps:

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Season pork belly all over with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Wrap pork in parchment paper; wrap a second time in aluminum foil, and a third time in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place pork packet in a baking dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven until tender for 6 hours. Let cool in wrappings to room temperature; place cooled packet in refrigerator and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
- Unwrap chilled meat. Save any rendered fat that falls away when unwrapping pork.
- Cut meat into 6 equal-size portions. Cut 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch slashes in the fat-side of the pork. Season with salt.
- Heat 2 tablespoons reserved pork fat in a skillet over medium heat. Place pork belly, fat side down, in hot fat; cook until well-browned on all sides and heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork belly to a plate, drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.

Tips:
- For the crispiest sisig, use a combination of pork belly and pork shoulder. The pork belly will provide the fat for the crispy bits, while the pork shoulder will add flavor and texture.
- Be sure to score the pork belly before cooking. This will help the fat render and create those crispy bits.
- Cook the pork belly in a hot skillet until it is crispy on all sides. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the pork will not cook evenly.
- Once the pork belly is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Then, chop it into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add the chopped pork belly, chilies, and seasonings to the skillet and cook until heated through.
- Serve the sisig immediately with rice, tortillas, or your favorite dipping sauce.
