Method

  • 1.
  • Mix all ingredients well.
  • 2.
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs.
  • If i'm lazy, I'll just slash it up with a smal paring knife.
  • 3.
  • Spread a thin layer on ribs and pre-marinated chicken and rub in well.
  • For the chicken, we apply it under the skin on top and bottom and in the cavity.
  • Get intimate with the meat and don't be afraid to get dirty.
  • 4.
  • Place in plastic bags and remove as much air as you can and leave in the fridge overnight.
  • 5.
  • Heat your smoker to 200-225 and smoke for 3.5 hours, adding wood chunks as needed.
  • I soak them first but I don't think it makes much difference.
  • 6.
  • Brush on your favorite sauce (or not) and wrap in foil and smoke for another 1.5 hours.
  • (Try a spicy raspberry sauce for a nice change.
  • ).
