Ingredients
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Pork Bites
- 1½ pounds pork chops cut into 3/4" pieces
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- In a medium-size saucepan, add the brown sugar and hot sauce. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Boil the sauce for 1 minute, then set aside.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add the avocado oil. Once shimmering, add the pork chop pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until golden on the bottom, then use tongs to turn the pork over. Cook until golden on all sides, or about 10 minutes.
- Once the pork has cooked, remove from the heat and add the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat.
- Transfer to a serving platter and top with blue cheese crumbles and fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing leftovers: store leftover pork bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: reheat in the microwave or add to a small saucepan with a little extra buffalo sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until warmed through.
