01 Step
Recipe View
Gather all ingredients and prepare your workstation. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Thread 2 or 3 pork cubes onto each skewer. Season all sides generously with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Set aside. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Pour 2 cups of water into a 9x13-inch baking dish and insert a wire rack. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dip each pork skewer into the egg mixture, then press into the bread crumbs, ensuring a thorough coating. Repeat the dipping process for an extra layer of crispiness. (15 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Carefully lower the breaded pork skewers into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fried skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Arrange the fried pork skewers on the wire rack in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Carefully transfer the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the crumb coating to dry out and become even more crisp. (30 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork cubes in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before skewering.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent at 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying results.
If you prefer a lighter flavor, you can skip the double dipping in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Feb 10, 2025I used an air fryer instead of deep-frying and it came out great. It was a bit drier but still delicious.
