Kimmie Rae's Turkey Brine Recipe


Kimmie Rae, a loyal Cooking Outdoors listener passed along her own special brine recipe. She says it helps to make their holiday turkeys wonderfully moist and flavorful. Give it a try!

What to tell your butcher


Now is the time of year when many people purchase whole-half or quarter beef or hogs. Here's some practical advice Sandi and I have learned over the years:

Two great advantages to buying in bulk: 1) you'll save a lot of money on the per pound cost of the meat. 2) It's a great excuse to clean out your freezer.

DON'T MAKE THESE BRISKET MISTAKES!


Brisket is by far, the most challenging cuts any barbecuer can cook. It's tought to begin with, needs a lot of time in the pit to render tender and requires patience and practice in order to get it down pat. Here are five most common mistakes you need to take into consideration when barbecuing a brisket.

Essential Tips For Great Ribs!


My standard for judging most barbecue joints is based on how smokey, flavorful and tender their ribs are. To me, RIBS are quintessential barbecue. I consistently receive calls and emails from people who are still having troubles cooking their ribs. There are a number of factors that come into play why their ribs don’t come out delicious and tender!

Barbecued Balogna-Memphis Style


In 1993, Sandi and I traveled to Memphis to partake the Memphis In May World Championship BBQ Contest. One of the most unusual barbecue items we ate while there was a Barbecued Balogna sandwich at Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ Restaurant. Here's how to do it in your own backyard.

Spicy Apple Cider Rib or Chicken Mop


Use this on either ribs or chicken. Flavorful with a little kick to it.

Ingredients: 2 cups apple cider, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tbl. white vinegar,
2 tbl. tomato paste, 1 tbl jalapeno pepper-chopped and seeded,                             1 tbl.brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. black
pepper.Optional: use honey instead of brown sugar.

 

Preparation: In a saucepan, add cider, onions and jalapeno. Over
medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add remaining
ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool
down. May be used immediately or after completely cooling down.

Buttermilk Chicken


Buttermilk gives this grilled chicken a lively twist! It's a milky brine that brings juiciness and flavor to the chicken. You can also adapt it for a whole chicken or breasts if you like.

Smoked Guacamole


Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner. Enjoy it with this special Smoked Gucamole recipe. Try it once, and I guarantee, it will become a favorite. A flavorful way to enjoy the summer as well!
