1. Pulled Port With BBQ Sause by RecipeTin Eats

Pulled pork with BBQ sauce is one of the most popular BBQ recipes out there, and for good reason. It's juicy, flavorful, and falls apart effortlessly. And if you think it's too complicated to make, think again! With this recipe from RecipeTin Eats, you can make delicious pulled pork with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

The secret to this recipe is the slow cooker. All you have to do is rub your pork with a special spice mix and let it cook in a braising liquid for 12 hours. The result? Tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork that is ready to be tossed in a homemade BBQ sauce.

Speaking of the BBQ sauce, it's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and it's super easy to make. Just mix together ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, mustard powder, and molasses. Then, add it to the pulled pork and mix it all together.

But what about the braising liquid? Well, you have a few options. The recipe recommends using beer (anything except dark brown beers like stout or Guinness), apple cider or similar fruit ciders like pear, or even non-alcoholic options like apple juice. And in case of an emergency, water will do just fine!

The best part about this recipe is that it's super economical and makes loads of pulled pork, which means you can freeze it for later and enjoy it whenever you want.

2. Melt-in-Your-Mouth Baby Back Ribs (300-3-30 Method) by Craving Tasty

Can you believe that you can have oven-baked baby back ribs that are just as good as smoked ones? Well, it's true, my friends! And we've got the recipe that will make your taste buds dance with joy. No need to worry about the weather or temperature maintenance, this 300-3-30 method is foolproof and easy to follow. 

So, here's the deal. You bake the baby back ribs for 3 hours at 300F covered with foil, then an additional 30 minutes at 300F uncovered. And voila! You get ribs that have a texture similar to those of smoked back ribs. The meat is tender and not greasy, with most of the fat rendered off. And the best part? The meat falls off the bone. That's right, no need to gnaw on the bone like a caveman. 

We like to use fresh garlic in this recipe because it gives the ribs an amazing flavor. And we like our baby backs saucy, but not so much that the sauce drips off when we're eating them. If this sounds like your kind of rib, then my 300-3-30 method is definitely for you.

Now, we know that everyone's taste and preferences may be slightly different, so let us describe what we're looking for in a great tasting baby back rib. And let us tell you, these baby backs deliver. Tender meat, flavorful, and sauced just right. It's the perfect combination of savory and sweet.

3. Grilled Meditarrenean Chicken Kabobs by Feel Good Foodie

These Mediterranean chicken kabobs are the perfect way to add a little bit of international flair to your BBQ. They're juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! The chicken is marinated with classic Middle Eastern spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika, plus a little bit of lemon juice and garlic (because garlic makes everything better, right?). 

Once the chicken has been left to soak up all those delicious flavors, it's time to assemble the kabobs. You'll want to thread the chicken onto skewers with some veggies like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. These veggies aren't just there for show - they actually help keep the chicken moist as it cooks on the grill. 

And speaking of the grill, that's where the magic happens. Once the kabobs hit the heat, they start to sizzle and pop, and the aroma of grilled chicken and spices fills the air. It's a truly mouth-watering experience! You'll want to cook the kabobs until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are slightly charred. 

The end result is a dish that's bursting with flavor and perfect for sharing with friends and family. Plus, it's a great way to mix up your standard BBQ routine with something a little different.
