Skewering the Pork and Grilling

  • Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 1-3 hours.
  • Skewer 5-6 pieces of pork onto the top half of the bamboo skewer.
  • Preheat the grill and oil the grill grates before grilling.
  • Place a double thick piece of aluminum foil toward the front of the grill to block the heat from the bamboo skewers so they don't burn.
  • Grill the skewers, turning every couple of minutes. Baste the glaze after each turn to allow the it to bake on.
  • Remove the pork from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 140°. While resting the pork, the temperature will rise about 5 additional degrees.
  • Serve pork immediately. Enjoy!
