Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut each pork chop lengthwise into 3 pieces. Combine the blue cheese powder, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the pork "wings" on all sides with the spice mixture. Wrap each wing in a single layer with a strip of bacon and secure with a skewer; the skewers should stick out about 3 inches.
- Place the wings on a baking sheet and bake until the bacon is crispy and the pork registers 145 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Flip the wings about two-thirds of the way through to brown both sides -- keep an eye on the wings, and flip earlier if they are browning too quickly on the bottom.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the butter, hot sauce and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cayenne, then remove from the heat.
- When the wings come out of the oven, brush them generously with the Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with any remaining sauce.

Steps:
- Here are the different ways that you can cook pork wings.
- The benefit of cooking pork is that the meat is versatile enough to be cooked in a variety of ways, and that each way of cooking always seems to work out well.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Pork wings cook at that temperature for about 50 minutes, or until the inner temperature of the pork wing reaches 145 degrees using a digital thermometer.
- Be sure to cook both sides of the wings so that they acquire the toasty surface that makes the skin a bit crunchy.
- In a deep fryer, or deep saucepan, get vegetable oil to 350 degrees.
- Carefully (mind the hot oil splattering) lower the pig wings one at a time.
- Leave the wings frying for about 2 minutes each, turning them on each side after one minute.
- Place your pork wings in the Air Fryer basket.
- Choose the "chicken" option, and let them cook automatically.
- Normally, this option runs at 370 degrees, for about 10 minutes.
- If the machine does not have those automatic settings, set them up manually.
- Set the smoker to 275 degrees.
- You want low temperature and indirect heat to make the most out of taste and texture.
- You can cook pork wings for half an hour or longer.
- Be on the lookout to ensure that they are not overcooking.
- Always be sure to flip the wings so both ends get heat exposure.
- The internal temperature for pork is 140-145 degrees.
- Take a wing out to check whether they are cooking properly.

Number Of Ingredients 5
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.

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°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.

Steps:
- Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
- Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.
- Transfer pork pieces to a bowl filled with panko bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs firmly into the meat on both sides. Transfer breaded cutlets to a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in pickles, jalapeno pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
- Slowly stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

- 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.
