PORT-A-PITT BBQ CHICKEN (COPYCAT RECIPE)



Port-A-Pitt BBQ Chicken (Copycat Recipe) image

Here in Northern Indiana, they have fund raisers where this chicken is sold. It is slow cooked in a large covered grill (about the size of a small travel trailer) where it is constantly moving from the grilling section to a dipping section and back. This makes it fall-apart tender and a spectacular flavor. Edited to add: Since the sauce makes a lot and I end up throwing so much of it away, I've been making up LOTS of chicken for freezing. I have been taking 2 or 3 whole chickens, cutting them in half; then baking the halves in the sauce (may need to bake in batches). When cool, I freeze in freezer bags dividing up the remaining sauce among the bags. When ready to eat, thaw and grill with the thawed marinade.

BALTIMORE PIT BEEF WITH TIGER SAUCE



Baltimore Pit Beef With Tiger Sauce image

This regional speciality calls for a large roast to be grilled (but not smoked) over intensely hot coals while being flipped constantly to avoind burning. The meat comes off the grill well charred, almost black on the exterior but not burned, and rosy pink in the center, bordering on rare. The meat is sliced thin, piled on kaiser rolls, and top with sliced onions and a horseradish-mayonnaise mixture some locals refer to as "Tiger Sauce". The final result is tender, smoky and spicy. In Baltimore, a deli slicer is often used to shave the meat thinly for sandwiches. It's easiest to cut the roast in half lengthwise before slicing it as thinly as possible.

1/3 cup horseradish
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pinch cayenne
salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 -3 lb boneless eye of round roast, trimmed
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 kaiser rolls, split and warmed

  • Beef: combine all seasonings. Pat meat dry with paper towels and rub evenly over beef. Cover with saran wrap and let stand at room temp for at least 1 hour or refrigerated for up to 24 hours. (If refrigerated, let stand at room temp 1 hour before grilling). Before cooking, unwrap meat and rub with oil.

  • Gas grill: turn all burners to high, cover and heat until hot.
  • Clean and oil cooking grate. Place meat on the hotter part of the grill. Cook, (covered if using gas), turning often, until evenly blackened on all sides and the center of meat is 95-100 degrees (med rare); 30 minutes.
  • Transfer meat to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes. Cut roast in 1/2 lengthwise, then slice against the grain as thinly as possible. Divide sliced meat equally among Kaiser rolls, top with onion and Tiger Sauce and serve.
