REPIN this Air Fryer Pork Bites Recipe
I think I’d bribe them first. I thought they were a bit too dry. However, these chops only 3/4” too so maybe a less time.
That sounds like a great idea, John!
This was amazing!
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Viki!
For anyone reading, fry your pork till it is 165. Never eat it pink, as undercooked or “medium rare” pork is not safe. Undercooked pork Is a transmitter of hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is not curable.
Hi Colton, many of us grew up at a time when our parents cooked all things pork until well done and tough. Today pork is safe to consume cooked to medium (145° F), leaving it just a little bit pink in the middle and tender & juicy. I’ve worked closely with the pork board, 165°F would be well done.
