    How long to cook

    The cooking time for pork bites in an air fryer can vary depending on the size of the pieces and the temperature of the air fryer. I typically cook pork bites in a non preheated air fryer , at 400°F for approximately 10 to 12 minutes flipping halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

    If you preheat the bites are likes are likely to cook in less time. Adjust accordingly. To ensure pork bites are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F and has rested for a few minutes before serving.

    FAQs

    Here you’ll find answers to common questions about this recipe. If your question isn’t answered, please leave us a comment below and we’ll gladly answer them.

    Is it better to cook pork chops at 350°F or 400°F?

    It's generally better to cook pork chops at 400°F as this will help to create a crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender and juicy.

    Cooking pork chops at a lower temperature such as 350°F may result in a less crispy exterior and a longer cooking time.

    Can I freeze the pork bites?

    You can freeze the pork bites for up to 3 weeks and reheat in the air fryer when you are ready.

    If you would rather reheat in the microwave, let the frozen pork bites thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the microwave.

    Do I need to preheat the air fryer?


    Preheating the air fryer is optional. If you do, adjust the time accordingly by reducing cook time.

    Can I use a different cut of pork for this recipe?

    You can use other cuts of pork, such as pork tenderloin or pork chops, but make sure to cut them into bite-size pieces for even cooking.

      Delicious.

      We cooked our bites for 10 minutes and they were so juicy and tender!
      Served them with a honey mustard dip as part of family game night and they were a big hit!

      So easy and I loved the seasoning on them!
