This depends on a lot of factors. Here I have went into a detail analysis.

2. Cutting them into larger pieces i.e. more than 1-inch will take them longer to cook.
3. Ideally pork belly that is cut into 1-inch pieces takes 18-20 minutes to cook at 400 degrees F.
4. If you want to cook at a lower temperature then it might take you even longer to get crispy pork belly.
