Same cut of pork but it is not cured and pre-smoked like bacon. It’s a fresh cut of meat and I treated it somewhat similarly to a rack of ribs with the cooking method.
I also did not cut it along the edge where bacon is typically cut (for no particular reason). Next time I will cut in the same direction as sliced bacon.
For the sauce, I bought it at a local grill supply store called Grillbillies. It’s a sweet bbq sauce with body. Something you would typically brush on ribs if you like sauced ribs.
I could taste the apple but not as much chipotle as I expected. Probably not enough chipotle to warrant the name, honestly. You will see from the ingredients list that maybe it comes from the “spicesâ€.
Regardless, I really liked the sauce. But for you chipotle fans...you may want to throw a chipotle pepper in there to give it some oomph.
