There’s something primal and invigorating about cooking over an open flame. This is likely why barbequing is not just an American pastime, but a global obsession. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned grill master, you’ll love these delicious and mouth-watering BBQ recipes, each made better with the use of a Weber Kettle.
Classic BBQ Pulled Pork
This is a staple for all BBQ lovers. The secret to a tender and flavorful pulled pork is the slow and low grilling method in a Weber Kettle, allowing the smoky flavors to fully permeate the meat.
Ingredients:
- 6-7 lbs Pork Shoulder
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Paprika
- 3 tbsp Black Pepper
- 3 tbsp Salt
- 2 tsp Mustard Powder
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tsp Onion and Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp dried Thyme
- 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
- BBQ sauce of choice
Combine the dry ingredients to create your rub. Apply generously onto the pork shoulder. Refrigerate overnight. Prepare your Weber Kettle for indirect heat, maintaining a temperature of 225-250°F. Place your pork shoulder fat side up on the grill, cover and cook for 6-8 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 195-200°F. Let it rest before pulling the pork apart with forks. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Juicy BBQ Chicken Breasts
A BBQ classic, these chicken breasts are a hit at any cookout. They’re juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, especially when grilled on a Weber Kettle.
Ingredients:
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them on the preheated Weber Kettle. Grill on each side for approx 6-7 minutes on direct heat. Turn the grill to indirect heat, baste the chicken with BBQ sauce, covering completely. Close the lid and cook for 10 more minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the breast.
Smoky BBQ Ribs
These slow-grilled ribs are a true BBQ delight. The use of the Weber Kettle allows the ribs to slow cook, soaking up all the smoky flavor from the charcoal and the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 racks of Baby Back Ribs
- 2 cups of BBQ Sauce
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Your choice of BBQ rub
Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with salt, pepper, and your chosen BBQ rub. Prepare your Weber Kettle for indirect heat and preheat to 275°F. Place the ribs bone-side down and grill for 1.5-2 hours. During the last 30 minutes of grilling, baste ribs with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes until they’re nicely glazed. Let them rest for a few minutes before cutting into individual ribs to serve.
BBQ cooking is an art, and every artist needs the right tools. By utilizing a Weber Kettle, you’ll find these recipes not just delicious, but also easy and fun to create. So, fire up your grill, gather your ingredients, and get ready to unleash the BBQ master within you!
