Slow Cooked BBQ Brisket

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 pounds (1.8-2.3 kg) beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ELLICIOUS BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. This will be your dry rub.
  2. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer to keep it moist during cooking. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the dry rub mixture all over the brisket, making sure to cover all sides. Massage it into the meat for better flavor penetration. Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Place the seasoned brisket in a large roasting pan or a Dutch oven with a lid. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the brisket, making sure it's evenly coated.
  7. Cover the pan with aluminum foil or put the lid on if using a Dutch oven. Place the brisket in the preheated oven and cook for about 6-7 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  8. Every hour or so, baste the brisket with the cooking juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
  9. Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  10. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.

This slow-cooked BBQ brisket is perfect for sandwiches, tacos, or served alongside your favorite sides like coleslaw or cornbread. Enjoy!

Jerk Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 pounds (1.4-1.8 kg) chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or a whole chicken cut into parts)
  • 1 cup ELLICIOUS Jerk sauce 
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan or oven broiler.

  4. Pour the jerk sauce marinade over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are well coated. Massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure it's evenly distributed. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  6. Grill the chicken over direct heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is nicely charred and cooked through. If using an oven broiler, place the chicken on a broiler pan and broil for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  7. While grilling, baste the chicken with any remaining marinade or additional jerk sauce to keep it moist and to enhance the flavors.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the jerk chicken hot with your favorite sides like rice and peas, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Remember that the cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces, so always ensure the chicken is cooked through before serving.
