NEELY'S BARBECUE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Barbecue Chicken:.
• Rinse chicken halves in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken in a large bowl or baking dish, coat with Italian dressing and evenly season with Neelys Seasoning. For best results, allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• If Cooking Inside:.
• Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and brush chicken with Neelys Barbeque Sauce.
• Place into a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
• If Grilling Outside:.
• Thirty minutes before you're ready to cook, take the chicken out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the grill to a medium temperature, about 275 degrees F preferably over hickory and charcoal.
• Place the chicken halves on grill, meat side down. Cover grill and cook for about 50 minutes. Flip chicken over and let it brown until the chicken becomes golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. The wing and the drumstick should become very tender and will easily pull away at the joints. Brush the chicken with Neelys Barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Neelys Italian Dressing:.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the oil and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Makes 1 1/2 cups.
• Neelys Barbecue Seasoning:.
• Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until combined. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• Neelys Barbecue Sauce:.
• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Makes 3 1/2 cups.

NEELY'S BARBECUE SEASONING

Steps:

• Stir together the ingredients in a small bowl. Stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, this seasoning will last for up to 6 months.
• NOTES.
• We never salt our Barbecue Sauce because of the sodium content in the ketchup and because other ingredients like onion powder and Worcestershire sauce provide so much flavor. Since our sauce is mostly used on grilled items (that are seasoned) and combined with other foods (like Barbecue Spaghetti and Molasses-Baked Beans), we don't want to end up with food that is too salty. So we err on the side of slightly underseasoning this sauce (although believe me, no one ever says that it lacks flavor). If your taste buds yearn for a little more salt, you can season the sauce-at the end of the cooking time-as you please.

NEELY'S WET BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Bring ingredients for sauce to a boil in a stock pot, then lower heat and cook uncovered for at least 30 minutes.
• Produce a St. Louis style sparerib, by trimming spareribs to remove the upper brisket bone and other excess.
• Rinse ribs, pat dry then sprinkle with Neely's seasoning (recipe posted in my other recipes), rubbing in with your fingers, and covering in plastic wrap and refrigerating for 4-12 hours.
• Prepare your grill for cooking with indirect heat.
• Place ribs, curls pointing up (to retain moisture) over indirect heat at 250F and cook for three hours.
• Turn the ribs and increase the temperature to 300°F Cook for another 2 1/2 hours.
• At this point, begin basting with barbecue sauce for the final 30 minutes of cooking (any longer and the sauce will burn).
• Cook ribs using an indirect grilling method at 250F for the first three hours, then 300F for the last three hours.
