Introduction: Get ready for a flavor explosion! Chef James Miller’s Sticky Honey-Glazed Pork Belly Bites are the perfect starter for your next barbecue or gathering. These bite-sized delights are tender, juicy, and coated in a sweet and savory glaze that will have everyone reaching for seconds. James’s Southern roots shine through in this dish, with a touch of modern flair.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pork belly, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Season the Pork Belly:
- In a bowl, toss the pork belly cubes with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. “Smoked paprika adds that extra layer of flavor, giving these bites a real Southern kick,” James explains.
- Cook the Pork Belly:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork belly cubes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the edges, about 20 minutes. “Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—that’s the secret,” James says with a grin.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix honey and soy sauce. Pour the glaze over the pork belly cubes and toss to coat. Cook for another 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized. “This glaze is what makes these bites irresistible. Trust me, they’ll disappear fast,” James notes.
- Serve:
- Transfer the sticky pork belly bites to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs or sesame seeds if desired. “These are best served hot, right off the skillet. Watch out—they’ll be gone in a flash!” James laughs.
Chef’s Note: “These pork belly bites are a crowd-pleaser at any BBQ or party. Pair them with a cold beer, and you’re all set!”
