How to Make Bbq Piggie Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1 lb pork ribs into 3/4-inch pieces.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Add the pork rib pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and drain off any excess grease.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the pork ribs in the skillet, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
