HOW TO MAKE PORK TOCINO

Quick, easy & delicious!

Prepare all the ingredients!

STEP 1

Cut your pork slices into 1-inch pieces. Put in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients.

STEP 2

Marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours. The pork will get tough after 24 hours, so if you're not going to cook it, freeze it.

STEP 3

Air fry at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Flipping every 10 minutes. Flipping it frequently will prevent sugar from burning.

STEP 4

SKIP the pan-frying. Use your AIR FRYER for a better cooking alternative.
