Crispy Pork Tenderloin Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pork Tenderloin Skewers.

1. Step 1

   Start by preparing your pork tenderloin, cutting it into three sections: one thick center piece and two thinner ends.

2. Step 2

   Chop the thinner ends into bite-sized chunks for easy skewering.

3. Step 3

   Next, take the thick center section and slice it lengthwise into two equal halves.

4. Step 4

   Then, cut these halves and the thicker end piece into 1/2-inch slices.

5. Step 5

   Now it’s time to assemble your skewers! Begin threading the pork pieces onto bamboo skewers, starting with the smaller chunks and working your way up to the larger slices.

6. Step 6

   This will give your skewers a fun, drumstick-like appearance that’s sure to impress.

7. Step 7

   Once your skewers are assembled, it’s time to add some flavor.

8. Step 8

   Generously season the pork with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, making sure every side is well coated for maximum taste.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s set up your breading stations! In three separate bowls, whisk some eggs in one, fill another with flour, and pour panko bread crumbs into the third.

10. Step 10

    To create that irresistible crispy coating, take each skewer and first press it into the flour, shaking off any excess.

11. Step 11

    Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the egg to cling nicely.

12. Step 12

    Finally, roll it in the panko bread crumbs, ensuring it’s fully covered.

13. Step 13

    Once all your skewers are breaded, lay them out in a single layer on a plate and pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

14. Step 14

    This little chill helps the coating stick better when cooking.

15. Step 15

    While your skewers are chilling, heat some vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.

16. Step 16

    Carefully add the skewers to the hot oil, cooking them until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

17. Step 17

    Once they’re perfectly crispy, transfer the skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

18. Step 18

    Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

19. Step 19

    If you like, sprinkle a little extra salt on top for that finishing touch.

20. Step 20

    Enjoy your deliciously crispy pork skewers, perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!.
