Recipe Tips

  • Best chops for slow cooking: Thick-cut bone-in pork chops stay juicy and tender during cooking.
  • Don’t overcook: Use an instant-read thermometer—pork is done at 145°F.
  • Extra saucy version: Stir in a splash of apple juice or honey to the sauce before cooking for added sweetness.
  • Avoid lifting the lid: This can release heat and extend the cooking time.
  • Make it smoky: Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika to the BBQ sauce for a richer flavor.
