Faster Southern Slicker Bbq Recipes

FASTER SOUTHERN SLICKER BBQ

Steps:

• Defrost the tofu.
• Mix the sauce ingredients*.
• Marinate tofu cuts in sauce for 20-40 minutes.
• Place on tinfoil-covered baking sheet under broiler for 10-15 minutes on each side.
• Serve hot with traditional southern sides.
• *My current favorite prepared sauce to use as the basis here is Stubb's Hot BBQ sauce, but I'm still experimenting.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND SLICK DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large pot. Add salt and pepper, a dash of cayenne, a bay leaf, and a handful of celery tops. Cover with water, and cook until done. Discard bay leaf. Add vegetables, and continue cooking until vegetables are nearly done.
• Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder, chicken fat. Mix in enough water to make a stiff dough. Divide dough into three parts. Roll out, and cut into squares.
• Add 1/3 dumplings to simmering chicken, and cook 5 minutes. Add another third, and cook 5 minutes more. Add the remaining third, and cook 5 minutes longer. Serve.

SOUTHERN BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into onions; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until lightly browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Turn off one of the grill burners or move the coals and move chicken so there is no heat source directly below it.
• Baste drumsticks with the sauce and cook another 10 minutes; turn again and baste chicken with sauce. Continue to grill drumsticks until juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SOUTHERN SLICKER TOFU BBQ

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar, pepper, mustard, allspice, cloves, molasses, and garlic. If you want a Carolina-style sauce, like I do, leave out the ketchup. Set aside.
• Pour the boiling water over the TVP, allow to rehydrate for 5-10 minutes.
• Add TVP and sauce mixture to skillet or pot, simmer, adding water, vinegar, or soy sauce to taste as it thickens. Simmering for more than 15 minutes may result in extremely tasty BBQ.
