Bonnies Homemade Barbecue Seasoning Recipes

BONNIE'S HOMEMADE SANTA MARIA RUB

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the salt, garlic salt, celery salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dill, sage, and rosemary in a bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use. This is enough rub for two tri-tips. Use a damp towel to lightly moisten the roast with water, then pat with the prepared rub on both sides. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully come together. If you are going to be cooking the meat right away, let rubbed tri-tip sit at room temperature for two hours.
• 2. Cook's Tip: This rub is also great on grilled chicken, shrimp and fish. Can be used as a seasoning salt.

BONNIE'S WINGS FROM THE OVEN

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE WINGS Remove the wing tips and prepare the wings for baking by cutting the wing at the joint. Rinse and pat the wings dry with paper towels.
• 2. COOKING DIRECTIONS Add the 1/4 cup peanut oil to a large mixing bowl, big enough to hold all the wings, and add the 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika. Whisk until well combined. Add the prepared wings and mix thoroughly until all wings are totally covered with the mixture.
• 3. PREPARE THE PAN AND RACK Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Insert a rack in the pan on top of the parchment paper and spray it with kitchen spray. Place the wings on the rack so they are not touching. You are now ready to bake them
• 4. OVEN INFO Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake the wings for 45 to 50 minutes. It takes exactly 45 minutes in my oven. Watch carefully that they do not burn at the end of cooking time. (No need to turn if you use a rack.) Enjoy!
• 5. Serve wings with both Ranch or our homemade barbecue sauce which is posted at this link: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/barbecue-sauce-bonnies.html?r=1

BONNIE'S AMISH BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. A WORD ABOUT MARINATING. Marinating the chicken overnight is essential to the success of a tender, moist bird. So plan ahead. For a whole chicken, we marinated the bird overnight and most of the day until dinner time. Always refrigerate when marinating.
• 2. Combine all the ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and set aside. Place the chicken in a container and pour the marinade over it and cover. Turn the container over every few hours to make sure all the chicken is absorbing the marinade. Refrigerate overnight and part of the next day until you are ready to cook it. ROTISSERIE: Just put the bird on the spit and forget it! It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. No basting necessary. GRILLING: Grill the chicken 4 inches above prepared coals for about 6 minutes on each side. Baste frequently with the sauce. BROILER CHICKENS: For half chickens, baste frequently and broil until a thigh joint moves easily, about 50 minutes or so. Place the chicken halves skin-side-down about 8 inches away from the heat source. Broil for 30 minutes or until the chickens are nicely browned. (They will be half way cooked) Turn the chicken over and broil for another 20 minutes or until the skin is nicely browned, and the chickens are completely cooked through. Be sure to watch your chicken because oven temperatures vary.
