We have gotten a ton of requests to do either smoked chicken quarters or smoked bone-in chicken breast, so Chef Tom shows you how to break down a whole chicken and smoke up some great yardbird.
Todd Johns of Plowboys BBQ (Kansas City) cooks up an amazing pork wellington recipe. This simple recipe is delicious and quick enough to cook for a week night meal.
Chef Tom cooks up the famous bacon bite recipe from BBQ Brian Misko’s “Grilling with House of Q” cookbook. A slab of cured bacon, cut into large strips and smoked, and then then direct grilled before being sliced into cubes. Delicious!
Jalapeño poppers are a favorite appetizer around here. We’re always looking for ways to tweak our poppers to make them new and exciting again, so when Steven Raichlen visited us and shared his bacon wrapped snow crab jalapeño poppers from his book Project Smoke, we couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!
Pitmaster Josh Cary and Chef Tom Jackson have cooked up a new seasonal bi-weekly podcast in conjunction with KMUW. This podcast covers the history of Kansas City Burnt Ends and includes a recipe for a classic version of the dish.
Chef Tom tackles another brisket, Texas style. Instead of trimming out the point and flat and cooking them separate, we cook the full packer brisket and instead of foil we use butcher paper to wrap the brisket to help retain moisture and maintain our color.
Chef Tom takes one of our favorite cooking techniques and adds a twist by swapping a foil wrapped brick for a Himalayan Salt Plate. He then places a charcoal basket in our Napoleon P500RSIB-1 and grills bone-in chicken halves indirect with a pre-heated salt plate on top.
It's heating up out there. Cool off with this refreshing recipe for Asian inspired grilled pork loin, pineapple and onion skewers on a bed of cool crisp cucumber noodles, smothered in a sweet, salty and spicy peanut sauce!
Chef Tom smokes up some amazingly tender dry style baby back ribs. Rubbed with a little Plowboys BBQ Yardbird and Cattleman's Grill 8 Second Ride, they had the perfect balance of sweet and heat while retaining an amazing texture.
If you thought smoked pork belly couldn't get any better, I've got news for you. A few days in pastrami brine does amazing things to that fatty succulent slab of pork!
Chef Tom's most requested recipe is pork belly, and he loves to cook it for both pulled and sliced so he decided to combine the two in one epic sandwich. Enjoy!
BBQ for breakfast? Yes, please! Really, though, this meal is great any time of day. I know at my house when we smoke a pork butt we can never quite finish off all of that pulled pork. This recipe is a great way to use your leftovers in a brand new way!
Chef Tom grabs a couple recipes out of Steven Raichlen's newest cook book "Project Smoke" and creates a killer combination of tri-tip and horseradish sauce that is to die for.
If you're someone who loves a good burger, but is always looking for ways to kick it up a notch, how about grilled cheese sandwiches for buns? Yeah, let's do this!
Chef Tom walks you through our technique for producing award winning competition pulled pork. This is the same recipe that gave us a 2nd Place Pork finish in our first ever KCBS competition.
