Brother David's Grilled Chicken & Ribs

From the kitchen of Carly

Skin-on chicken and meaty ribs hit the grill for a patient sear that builds real flavor. Garlic and salt lay the foundation; then sweet and tangy sauce gets brushed on in layers until everything's caramelized and cooked through. Smoky, sticky, satisfying.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11/4 cup olive oil
  • 13 pounds chicken pieces, skin on (thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
  • 13 pounds pork ribs on the slab
  • 1Salt and pepper to taste
  • 11/4 cup garlic powder
  • 1Sweet & Tangy Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

  1. Lightly brush your grill with olive oil and preheat it to approximately 350°F.

  2. In the meantime, rinse the meat, pat it dry, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange the chicken and ribs on the grill. Resist turning the meat for at least 5 minutes. This will help it sear nicely. After 5 minutes or so, turn the meat over, sear the other side for 5 more minutes. Turn again, and this time, brush the meat with the barbecue sauce. Then turn again every 5 minutes, repeating the process of brushing the meat with sauce until the chicken and ribs are cooked through and the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize and form a crust on the meat (35 to 40 minutes).

  3. Serve with more barbecue sauce on the side.
