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 BBQ POPCORN

Steps:

• Put a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Drop a few kernels of corn in the oil to test the heat. When they begin to pop, add the rest of the corn and cover with a tight fitted lid. Shake the pan while the corn pops to keep it from burning.
• Add the popcorn to a large bowl and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with the BBQ Seasoning, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss thoroughly.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be saved in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Stored in a tightly sealed container, this sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.

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.
