Carolina style BBQ sauce is soooooo good!!!
 

So I decided to put my Carolina style BBQ sauce to the test and had some family over last night for guinea pig duty. Grilled up a bunch of chicken on the Weber Genesis 320 (which is and has been a marvelous propane grill - I highly recommend it), made some potato salad (using from scratch french dressing for the marinade) some of my pickles from last years garden and a loaf of sourdough bread. (Had to purchase that as I was out of sourdough starter.)

Seasoned the chicken with a little salt, pepper, ground thyme and paprika. Cooked the chicken under indirect heat for approximately one hour, applying the sauce the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, turning once during that time to coat both sides.

It was frickin' awesome. While I know that there are some KC style BBQ sauce purists around here, I strongly suggest that you give this sauce a whirl if you're grilling up some chicken, pork shoulder and fish (it's really great on heavier/denser fish like swordfish, mako shark, cobia and the like). I usually just buy a bottle when I'm down in Hilton Head for the family vacation (when in Rome...) and use it when I'm grilling chicken and fish. Decided that I could probably make some that appealed to my tastes a bit better than the store bought stuff. At least to me, it's much, much better. And it's easy as heck to make.

Here's the recipe:

1 c. prepared yellow mustard
¼ c. granulated sugar
¼ c. molasses
¼ c. honey
3/4 c. cider vinegar
1 T. white vinegar
1 T. balsamic vinegar
¼ c. light lager beer
1 T. vegetable oil
½ T. key lime juice
¼ t. hot sauce
¼ t. ground thyme
¼ t. white pepper
¼ t. fine ground black pepper
pinch of ground cayenne pepper

Mix and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 20/25 minutes.

Vinegar and mustard based bbq. Surprisingly good if you like tangy. But it's nothing compared to KC bbq.

I much prefer Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce. Nothing against Carolina.

True Fan plates.

Sweet and spicy bbq is awful.

Carolina BBQ sauce? Die in a slowly smoldering fire of 60% apple and 40% cherry.

If I was trapped on island that only had mustard and sugar and molasses and stuff, then I'd put Carolina BBQ sauce on my crab and coconut. But if the island had ... whatever goes into real BBQ sauce, the mustard plants would grow unchecked.

In a surprise, the wheel landed on Grab Bag:

"If you still think that The Office, Entourage, or House are good TV shows then you're a fool. Each has descended into self-parody. Raise your standards."

There is a heathen in our midst.

Exile.

I like 'em both. God save me from FMB's wrath. I will sacrifice a virgin box of barley and a goat.

Sorry.....but I've had that CS yellow BBQ before and it's nothing compared to good ol KC BBQ. I don't care what people say about Shealy's or Maurice's I wouldn't feed it to a rabid skunk.
