HONEY-GLAZED
FRIED PORK
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
3 cups all-purpose flour(375 g)
4 bone-in, skin-on pork
3 cups buttermilk(720 mL)
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
honey, for serving
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder,
paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another
medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the
spices are evenly distributed.
Add the pork to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice
blend. Mix until all the pork pieces are evenly coated.
Pour the buttermilk over the pork and stir until the residual spices from
the pork have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color.
Marinate the pork in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
Dredge each piece of pork in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them
back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake
off excess flour or it’ll burn while frying.
Fry 3-4 pork pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for
10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature
reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let
excess oil drain off.
Drizzle the pork with honey, then serve.
