How to make Crispy Salt and Pepper Pork Chop Bites (Overview)

Making these pork bites is as simple as 1-2-3! First, chop up that pork, then season it to perfection. Next, set up a little assembly line for breading—it’s like a mini factory for deliciousness. Dredge, dip, and coat! Once they’re golden, fry them up and let that aroma fill your kitchen! Pro tip: Always keep an eye on the heat.
