Tips
1. **Choose the Right Cut**: Opt for bone-in cuts like ribs or chicken for enhanced flavor and tenderness during cooking.
2. **Marinate or Dry Rub**: Enhance your meat’s flavor by marinating overnight or applying a seasoned dry rub several hours before grilling.
3. **Temperature Matters**: Cook meat at a consistent low to medium heat to ensure it becomes tender without charring the outside.
4. **Use Wood Chips for Smoke**: Incorporate wood chips like hickory or applewood in your BBQ for added smokiness.
5. **Monitor Internal Temperature**: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your BBQ reaches safe cooking temperatures – 165°F for chicken and 145°F for pork.
6. **Resting Period**: Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking. This helps retain the juices.
7. **Experiment with Sauces**: Try diverse BBQ sauces to find your perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy before serving.
