Air-Fryer Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Pork Bites preparation stage

You’ll Need

500g pork tenderloin, cut into chunky bite-sized cubes
10 rashers streaky bacon, cut in half
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
For the Sticky Glaze
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
To Finish
Fresh parsley
Extra black pepper
Optional but Dangerous
Garlic mayo
BBQ dip
Pickled chillies
Loaded fries

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. 2 - Toss the pork cubes with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. 3 - Wrap each pork cube tightly with a piece of streaky bacon. 4 - Secure with cocktail sticks if needed. 5 - Place the bacon-wrapped pork bites into the air fryer basket in a single layer. 6 - Air fry at 200°C for 12–14 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon starts crisping and the pork is cooked through. 7 - While they cook, mix together the honey, wholegrain mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. 8 - Brush the pork bites generously with the glaze. 9 - Return to the air fryer for 3–4 minutes until the glaze becomes sticky and caramelised. 10 - Finish with fresh parsley and extra black pepper. Serve immediately while hot, sticky, and impossible to leave alone.

Lad Tip: The secret is letting the bacon crisp before glazing. If the glaze goes on too early, the bacon softens. Get the bacon crunchy first, then hit it with the sticky stuff right at the end and you'll get that proper pub-snack finish everybody fights over.
