haven't made this recipe so I have no direct answer. But pork goes well with either chicken or beef stock. I suspect the answer relates to what you are looking for. Using beef stock would have a greater impact, imparting that deeper, richer dark flavor associated with red meats. Using chicken stock would serve more as a foil for the other ingredients, the spices and the honey, accentuating them. It's a matter of taste.
