Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork shoulder
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
While the pork is marinating, preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cut each slice of bacon into thirds, creating smaller strips that can be wrapped around the pork cubes.
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Wrap each pork cube with a piece of bacon, securing it with a skewer. Add 3-4 bacon-wrapped pork cubes to each skewer.
Brush the skewers lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the pork is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
Remove from heat and let the skewers rest for 3-5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your 'Oink Oink on a Stick'!
