A quick skillet version of barbecue chicken made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and shown here with my Green Bean Supreme Casserole and Fiesta Confetti Corn.

Skillet Barbecue Chicken

The inspiration for this began with the BBQ Glazed Chicken in Pioneer Woman's most recent cookbook Dinner's Ready (#ad).

As soon as I saw the picture, my mouth watered so I thought that I would try it with some boneless, skinless chicken breasts I had and my own rub.

I loved the way this turned out y'all!

Byron's Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Celebrates National BBQ Month

Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese made easy with Byron's fully cooked Pork BBQ, hickory smoked for 8 hours and hand pulled, with a spicy-sweet sauce, exclusively from Sam's Club.

Byron's Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese

Hey, in case y'all haven't noticed it's halfway through May, spring has arrived and the dog days of summer are just around the corner. Oh yeah, and May is National BBQ Month, and I don't know about you, but I've certainly been grilling up a storm.

Bone-in, skinned chicken thighs provide plenty of flavor for this slow cooker pulled chicken. Great on sandwiches, as a pizza topper, or stuffed in a taco or burrito. Shown here with a side of Red Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries.

Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

I love slow cooker "pulled chicken" because of its versatility. Not only is it good piled on rolls and buns, but its great rolled up in tortillas, stuffed into taquitos, tacos or burritos, or if you're trying to reduce carbs a bit, piled up in lettuce cups and topped with coleslaw or for barbecue pizza.

Thinly sliced or pounded pieces of boneless chicken breast are grilled, then topped with barbecue sauce, bacon and shredded cheeses, and finished with a garnish of fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced green onion.

Grilled Cheesy Barbecue Chicken

This is a such a quick, easy and super tasty meal that's really perfect for any weeknight. Known across the net as a copycat of Chili's Monterey Chicken, it's really nothing more than a simple boneless, skinless chicken breast that is brushed with barbecue sauce, topped with bacon, a little shredded cheese and finished with a garnish of fresh chopped tomato and sliced green onion. Cheesy, smothered and covered y'all. Not a thing wrong with that!

Southern BBQ Pork Brunswick Stew

Ingredients have varied over the years, often using chicken or like here, leftover pork, but one thing is certain, and that is, no matter the region of The South, Brunswick Stew, sometimes called Camp Stew, is a southern favorite.

BBQ Pork Brunswick Stew

This Barbecue Pork Brunswick Stew was one of the recipes I had in mind when I bought that 9-pound pork shoulder recently. I started with a wonderful Spicy BBQ Crockpot Pulled Pork, but already had a couple of planned leftovers meals in mind from that one meal, and this was one of them. 

Now... before I go any further, let me say this.  {Southern Style Hissy Fit warning...}

There will inevitably be someone who fusses at me about how I make this stew. I guarantee it will happen on social media, because... social media. Let me be clear to the naysayers.

An old school, low and slow way to cook up a barbecue sauced chicken in the oven, the way that grandma used to make it.

Old School Oven Barbecued Chicken

This oven barbecue chicken is a great way to get indoor barbecue flavor when the grill is covered under snow, it's just too darned cold or you're too tired to fool with grilling.

And yes, I realize that pouring commercially bottled barbecue sauce over chicken and baking it is absolutely deliciously easy, this recipe is the old school way of baking up a barbecued chicken dish.

Dressed up Bottled Barbecue Sauce

I have a favorite homemade barbecue sauce that I like to use for chicken and ribs and a favorite bottled sauce I like to buy - original Sweet Baby Ray's is still my favorite right off the shelf sauce. But... it is a bit more costly than the cheaper versions, which can almost always be found on sale somewhere. You know the ones that I'm talking about.

They're decent sauces and not bad on their own at all, but you can certainly dress them up and bump them up quite a few levels too, to make them your own. Nobody has to know but you! Here's how.

Slow cooker pork, cooked until tender and dressed Carolina style with a basic vinegar and mustard-based sauce.

Crockpot Carolina Style Pulled Pork

This pulled pork recipe came about when recently, I posted over on Facebook a slow, stovetop simmered, cheater pulled pork I learned last summer. It is done on the top of the stove, and even though it's completely unconventional, it produces an incredibly flavored pork The Cajun and I instantly fell in love with.

Several Deep South Dish Facebook family members reported they did a similar pork using their crockpots. Well, y'all talked me into investing in a new slow cooker {since the one I owned is at least... ahem... 33 years old} and the first thing I set my mind to doing was some kind of pork barbecue.

A tasty oven barbecue chicken wing, seasoned generously with both Cavender's Greek seasoning and Cajun seasoning, then finished with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Spicy Oven Baked Barbecued Chicken Wings

These oven barbecued wings are a great addition to the wing collection I am building up here. Have a mentioned before how much I love wings? Of course I have!

 

A 3-hour pulled pork that is tender and juicy and tastes like it simmered in the crockpot all day - no kidding.

The Easiest (Cheater) Pulled Pork Ever, No Kidding

This cheater pulled pork recipe kind of came on a flashback. No, not that kind y'all. But... years ago I really got into frugality, and one of the many places I frequented back then included the Dollar Stretcher website. Now I admit, I had kind of forgotten about Gary until I found him on Twitter and rediscovered him again.

Grilled spareribs or baby back ribs, get a boost first in the oven and then take a final sear on the grill.

Grilled Pork Spareribs or Baby Back Ribs

Now that the rain has moved outta here and the sun has resurfaced, I was in the mood to hit the grill for dinner today.

So as I write this it's March and I know that some of you are hunkered down inside due to unexpected spring ice storms and snowfall, but maybe this'll give y'all a glimmer of hope that summer is really just around the corner! And, maybe when y'all are relaxing and enjoying your summer, you'll think of us in the Deep South while we are melting right about that same time.

So I figured it'd be a good time to show y'all that other rib recipe I mentioned in my other rib post. Back in a day when I was doing yet another diet, Lisa, one of the gals on the board I was frequenting gave me this method.

Barbecue Sundae

It may seem strange, but this is a great way to use the leftovers from your cookout - a very clever and a great presentation and everybody loves this.

Oven Baked Pork Ribs with Sweet and Spicy Homemade Barbecue Sauce

When you don't want to fool with the grill or smoker, these fall off the bone spareribs will satisfy that rib craving. Slow baked in the oven, they'll hit the spot! 

Oven Baked Pork Ribs

Fall off the bone ribs, now that's what I'm talkin' about y'all!
This beautiful weather the past few weeks has had me in the mood to get a garden going for sure, but it's also had me in the mood for barbecue! I have literally been craving it for weeks now.

Deep South Dish Signature Barbecue Sauce

 

 Like all regions of The South, we also have our own style of barbecue sauce, and here in the Deep South it's spicy sweet! Homemade is just so easy y'all, really it is! Give it a try and make this your signature sauce too.

Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce

This is my personal homemade signature recipe for a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. When I created it, I was trying to duplicate the flavor of a very popular barbecue joint here on the coast.

There are a lot of commercial barbecue sauces on the market today - some good, some fantastic - and I can tell you how to dress up the less expensive stuff, but... if you really want to bump up your barbecue, you really can't beat a good homemade sauce.

Crockpot Barbecue Beef for Sandwiches

Beef for sandwiches with a delicious homemade barbecue sauce made so easy with a slow cooker. Pop it all in before you leave and come home to an easy supper.

Barbecue Beef

This is an absolutely delicious barbecue beef that is perfect for sandwiches, and so simple. Toss it all into the crockpot in the morning and it's ready for you when you get home. Fresh and homemade from ingredients you control and the flavor shows it. Stick with the fattier cuts of meat, or if you use leaner cuts, use them in combination with a mixture of the fattier cuts for the best flavor.

Here's how to make it.

Honey BBQ chicken wings made in the slow cooker.
