I have made this several times already in 2 weeks. The first time I made it on pork my husband said it was the best pork he ever had and wanted to try the rub/basting sauce on chicken on the grill. We used chicken thigh/wing/leg pieces and put the rub on the night before and grilled slowly the next day- I had all of my guests telling me I should have started a barbeque business! No extra sauce needed for the chicken! This is a fantastic recipe and I have had everyone asking for the recipe. Would try this on almost any meat.

Absolutely loved this recipe! experimented one day when my parents were over and we had a busy day lined up! I used the rub on the pork as per recipe overnight and once it went into the oven at noon the next day it was virtually a leave-it-alone recipe! One thing I did do though was cover the roast with tin foil after an hour of cooking. The basting sauce kept disappearing so I wanted to trap whatever moisture was created! The moment of truth was when I unveiled the roast at the end of the cooking time and started to carve! it was SO moist and tender! I actually managed to get slices and chunks which my kids prefer over shreds. The only thing that I may do differently next time is cut back on the cayenne pepper in the rub and add a little less vinegar but more brown sugar in the bbq sauce. However, this meal was a huge hit with everyone at the table and they all said to please make it again! I will!!

Great Rub and Basting sauce! <br/>The Sauce for the sandwiches was too much but I used the Chinese (Sambal Oelek) chili garlic paste. What do you use?<br/>I cheated and only left the rub on overnight and made the basting sauce the same day. I also used a Dutch Oven, which cut my cooking time to 5 hrs, and only based after the first 3hrs, I didn't want to wash the rub off.<br/>But the meat was tender and spicy and we will be making this again.<br/>Thanks for Sharing.

I made this recipe for a neighborhood picnic on the 4th of July. It was absolutely amazing!! I made a couple of changes, after cooking it all day in the oven and basting. I shredded the meat and put it in my slow cooker on warm. I added store bought bbq sauce (KC Masterpiece) and left it in the slow cooker over night. It was absolutely delicious!! Every last bit of it went and the neighbors insist that I make this for the next gathering. Thank you so much for posting. I will definitely be making this again!!
