Directions:FINISHING SAUCE
3/4 stick butter or margarine 1 cup honey 1/3 (15-oz) bottle Worcestershire sauce, or to taste Vinegar, to taste and to balance honey, but not enough to thin sauce. 3/4 cup ketchup, to taste and thicken
This sauce is to be used during the final 20 or 30 minutes of cooking and when serving. Do not use this sauce with a very hot fire because the increased amount of ketchup will cause burning. The Finishing sauce ingredients should be added to 1/2 of the remaining First sauce after ribs and/or chicken have been on grill for approximately 2 hours. If you do not have enough of the First sauce to start with, you can thin with water. Add butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings to 1/2 remaining First sauce and simmer 20 minutes. Add ketchup while simmering, until i reaches the consistency of tomato soup. Do not heat too fast or too hot. If you have sauce left over, it will keep for one month in the refrigerator. The above sauces can be used on chicken, ribs, or both. Whole baby back ribs with a little fat and medium size fryers cut in half are best. Always remove the skin on the back of the ribs. (You can use pliers and start at one end pulling skin off in one piece.) With chicken, the tail and excess skin should be removed. Wipe the chicken with oil or butter to prevent sticking to grill. Always cook on an indirect fire with the bones up on the ribs and skin up on the chicken. Cook on grill around 2 1/2 hours maintaining approximately 250 to 275 degrees. Change the positions of the ribs and/or chickens every 10 to 15 minutes and baste with First Sauce. You can cook some of the fat out of the ribs (or burn them slightly) by cooking them 5 minutes over the fire, being careful not to cook too fast or let the fire flame up. baste thoroughly with Finishing Sauce and keep warm at a low heat with meat at the end of the grill. |
