To prepare, simply heat the barbecue pork tender bites until they are thoroughly warmed. This can be done in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or in a microwave according to package directions. For an oven method, spread them on a baking sheet and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until hot. They are ready to serve as is or can be added to other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pork products like pulled pork or pork chops, these bites are pre-portioned and pre-sauced, saving significant preparation time. The tenderloin cut also provides a leaner and more uniformly tender experience than some other pork cuts.
