Who says pigs can't fly? Take a few boneless pork chops, add some bacon and a little creativity, and Pig Wings are on the menu! The bacon adds great flavor and keeps the loin meat from getting dry. These look great and are a little unusual, so they make a fabulous smoked appetizer with barbecue sauce for dipping. The kids will love them.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 1-inch-thick boneless pork chops
12 slices bacon (do not use thick sliced)
Barbecue Rub #67, recipe follows
Barbecue sauce, for dipping
1/2 cup Sugar in the Raw
1/2 cup kosher salt
3 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coffee
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Cut each pork chop into three strips. To wrap the "wings," start by overlapping the bacon on one end of a pork strip, then wrapping it up and around in a candy-cane fashion. Secure the bacon at the top with a toothpick. If you need to use a toothpick at both ends, go ahead. Season the bacon-wrapped wings liberally with the rub. Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 235 degrees F using medium pecan wood for smoke flavor. Place the wings directly on the cooking grid and cook for 90 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked. You may want to finish these on a hot grill or under the broiler to crisp the bacon. Serve hot with barbecue sauce for dipping.
  • Barbecue Rub # 67: After a lot of years of making barbecue rubs, I've used up all the good names, so sometimes I just use numbers now. Numbers 67 and 68 are a little tip of the hat to the band named after my hometown, Chicago. This one is a great all-around rub for the new barbecue cook because it's good on just about everything. Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months.

Provided by PBogho57

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 trimmed bone-in pork shanks
salt and pepper
3 cloves finely minced garlic
1 (14 ounce) box of chicken broth or chicken stock
1 cup Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar Barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Lay pork shanks out flat and rub both sides generously with salt and pepper and minced garlic. Put a rack inside a shallow roasting pan to keep the ribs off the bottom of the pan. Lay ribs across rack and fill pan with chicken broth under the ribs making sure the ribs are not touching the broth. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the oven. Turn the temperature down to 300°F and allow ribs to cook slowly for at least 4 to 6 hours until the meat begins to fall off the bone. Remove from oven and carefully remove foil to let out the steam. If preferred, remove the bone and brush ribs generously with Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar Barbecue sauce. Return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Carefully use tongs to lift ribs in one piece and place on platter.

Tips:

- To easily remove the skin from the pork wings, make a small incision near the joint and use a sharp knife to carefully detach it. - If you prefer crispy pork wings, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. - Season the pork wings liberally with your desired spices and herbs for maximum flavor. - Use a digital meat thermometer to ensure the pork wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. - For added crispiness and caramelization, consider glazing the pork wings with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking.
