In my book, there are few things better than some delicious barbecue. Whether it's ribs, pulled pork, or just some good old-fashioned chicken, I could eat (and have eaten) plate after plate of it.
And although I have a few of my own favorite recipes, I'd never heard of this one before — but it's definitely being added to my recipe box!
