I've tried both recipes, Chelseas, is by far ...juicier and tastier.

choose a piece with bones still on, score skin and slice part way through into large long fingers (for easy slicing at the end)

pre-heat oven to 140/150 degrees

rub in oil and salt and pepper rind and poke thyme into slits

seal all surfaces of pork belly in hot frying pan until colour on all surfaces (about 5 to 8 mins)

transfer to baking dish using 1/2'd apples as a base/trivet to rest pork belly on while roasting and pour in some liquid (water, apple juice or diluted apple cider/vinegar)

Roast slowly for 1 hour and 20 mins

then crank up the oven to 180 degrees for another 40mins

Take out and rest for 10mins
Crank up oven to 200 degrees

when cool enough to work with slice belly away from the bones and slice longways (where cuts are) to form large fingers
slice bones into separate "ribs"

place a wire rack in baking dish on top of melted apples and add tiny bit of liquid of your choice so apples don't burn

place pork belly fingers and ribs over rack and roast a final 10mins making sure you get a good crunchy crust of crackling as well as edges of fingers getting a good rendering of fat

I have also tried annabels and chelseas. Chelseas is way easier, fool proof, no waste of milk if your pan is big. tender and tasty.

Debone the piece.
Score or cut the skin into cubes, not the fat nor meat.
Place on a wire rack in the kitchen sink and pour some boiling water all over the skin briefly and quickly, drain then pat dry with paper towels.
The skin should curl slightly on all the edges.
Smear some Oil over the under belly meat part and placed on baking paper in a tray big enough only for the belly piece.
Add the honey into the cuts of the skin.
Rub some flaky Salt all over the skin ensuring all of skin is covered.

I only ever do it by the twice cooked method.

First I score it and marinate it for 12-24hrs in a mixture that I keep frozen, ensuring that I do not cover the fat with any liquid or marinade.

Next it is dried off and salted lightly. Place in an ovenproof container that just fits it and immerse in duck fat/lard with a few szechuan pepper corns and star anise. Sometimes I put a layer of onions on the bottom of the container first.

Then cover with tinfoil or a tight fitting lid and cook overnight for 12 hours at 90dC. Drain off the fat and take some effort to get as much off as possible. Cover with greaseproof paper or the tinfoil and place something heavy on the meat to compress it. I use a clean brick wrapped in paper towels for this part. Refrigerate overnight.

Slice into serving size squares and pan fry, skin side down till it is crackly, then the other side till brown. It doesn't take long.

The benefit is that the belly hardly shrinks at all and I can get three meals for two adults from one average sized pork belly. It is quite rich so serving sizes need to be quite small. You get a taste sensation and a reasonable bang for your buck.
