At Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, Lilly uses a cut called picnic shoulder for his spiced jerk pork, cooking it over low heat for eight hours. Rubbing a vibrant jerk paste on chops before a throwing them on the grill gives them an insanely good, peppery heat.

Ingredients

1 habanero chile 1 small onion 1 scallion 1 clove garlic 1 tsp. ground allspice 3/4 tsp. dried thyme 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1/4 tsp. cinnamon kosher salt Freshly ground pepper 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 c. store-bought Kansas City–style barbecue sauce 4 pork rib chops 1/2 c. hickory, pecan, or oak chips

Instructions

In a mini food processor, combine the habanero, onion, scallion, garlic, allspice, thyme, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Process until finely chopped. Add the 1 tablespoon of oil and process to a smooth paste. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of the paste with the barbecue sauce. Spread the remaining paste all over the chops and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Light a gas grill. Wrap the wood chips in heavy-duty foil, pierce the packet all over with a skewer and add to the grill. Cover and let the chips begin to smoke, about 5 minutes. Lightly brush the chops with oil and season with salt. Grill the chops, covered, over moderately high heat, turning and shifting the chops occasionally, until they are lightly charred and a meat thermometer inserted nearest the bone registers 140 degrees F, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chops to a platter and serve with the spiced barbecue sauce on the side. Looking for more dinner options? Check out our pork chop recipes, chicken recipes, and potato recipes.
