Hot Honey Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Recipe

Step 1

Add the hot sauce, honey, and butter to a saucepan over low heat and stir until the butter melts and everything is combined. Set aside.

Step 2

One by one, place the pork tenderloin pieces in a large plastic bag or between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to around ½-inch thickness.

Step 3

Pour the flour onto a plate and stir in ½ teaspoon salt as well as the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.

Step 4

Lay out two more plates, pouring the beaten egg onto one, and the panko breadcrumbs onto the other.

Step 5

Dredge the pork in flour, then egg, then panko, ensuring even coverage on all sides. Repeat with all tenderloins, setting each aside on a plate once finished.

Step 6

Add the oil to a large skillet over high heat and bring to 350 F.

Step 7

Add the pork pieces to the oil one or two at a time and fry until golden brown, around 3 minutes on each side.

Step 8

When the pork is done frying, remove it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle the remaining salt on the pork as it comes out of the fryer.

Step 9

Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the buns, placing a piece of tenderloin on top. Drizzle over the hot honey and top with pickles and sliced red onion. Serve immediately.
