Steps:
- Preheat a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, with enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chives, jalapenos, shallots, garlic, white wine vinegar, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper, to taste. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together. In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the pork on all sides in the buttermilk. Drain the pork from the buttermilk and add the chunks to the flour. Toss the pork in the flour insuring all of the pork is coated evenly. Shake off excess flour. Working in batches, deep-fry the nuggets until cooked through and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pork from the fryer to a paper towel lined platter to drain. Transfer the pork to a serving platter and serve with jalapeno mustard.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine your spices (paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt).
- Rub the pork chops in the spices generously.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium/high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they have a nice caramelized brownness to them. Once you feel that they are looking browned, add a Tablespoon of brown sugar to each pork chop. Turn each pork chop over, so both sides get some melted brown sugar. (Don't add the brown sugar too early or else the sugar will burn and smoke up the room.)
- Bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 15 minutes, making sure the pork chops are cooked through.
- Before serving, pour the glaze that's formed in the pan over the chops. Serve with your vegetables of choice.
- Enjoy!

Tips:

- Cut the pork into small pieces. The nuggets should be about 1-inch cubes.
- Season the pork. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Coat the pork in flour. This will help the pork to brown and crispy.
- Fry the pork in hot oil. The oil should be about 375°F. Fry the pork for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pork nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include ketchup, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make pork nuggets that your friends and family will love.
