This Secret BBQ Sauce Makes Chicken Fall Off the Bone (Only 4 Ingredients)

📗 Get My Complete BBQ Guides Here: https://earljacksonbbq.com/ Most backyard chicken comes off the grill dry at the edges and chewy at the bone, no matter how good your fire is. In this one I'm giving up the mop I've never shared outside my own pit — a hundred-year-old Lincoln County dip that's just four things: a gallon of cider vinegar, a pound of butter, two ounces of coarse black pepper, and the juice of two lemons. I show you the half-batch for four chicken halves, why the lemon rinds go in the pot, and why that lid stays shut for the first three hours before a drop of mop ever touches the bird. Six hours at 220, bone side down, cavities filled with mop so it bastes itself from the inside — then I take a drumstick in my bare hands and twist it off clean, no knife anywhere near it. I also cover the five mistakes that ruin it, how to set up a 22-inch kettle or a drum for the same dip smoke, and the one mistake at the very end that turns it all back into ordinary chicken. This is for anybody who's tired of tough barbecue chicken and wants to cook something the old church cookout crowd would recognize.
