Brother David's Grilled Chicken & RibsWilliam Geddes

Brother David is my brother David, the one whose backyard I am always borrowing. He loves to grill and we all love it when he does! Hey, the sauce is my recipe, though, so don't give him credit for that.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
3 pounds chicken pieces, skin on (thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
3 pounds pork ribs on the slab
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup garlic powder

Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

    Step 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).

    Step 3

    Serve with more barbecue sauce on the side.
