Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what good BBQ is made of. Our stickily good sauce delivers with sweet honey, paprika and a kick of cayenne.

Let's Make It

Mix sugar and seasonings; rub onto meat. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain.

Arrange charcoal on bottom grill grate evenly on both sides of foil drip pan. Light charcoal. When coals are hot, sprinkle with 2 cups wood chips. Place meat on top grill grate, fat-side up, in center over drip pan; cover. Grill 3 hours, turning after 1-1/2 hours and replenishing charcoal and wood chips as needed. (Note: Keep temperature of grill at about 275ºF.)

Remove meat from grill; wrap in double layer of heavy-duty foil. Return to grill; grill 1 hour or until meat reaches 200ºF. Remove meat from grill; carefully unwrap foil at top.

Mix remaining ingredients; pour 3/4 cup over meat. Wrap loosely with foil. Let stand 30 min. Transfer meat to cutting board; cut across the grain into thin slices. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce mixture.

Kitchen Tips

Tip 1

Variation

If you don't want to smoke the brisket, omit hickory wood smoking chips. Grill as directed over indirect heat on charcoal or gas grill.

Tip 2

Use Your Oven

Rub seasoning mixture onto meat; place in shallow pan. Cover with foil. Refrigerate as directed. Bake, covered, at 350ºF for 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300ºF; bake, uncovered, 2 hours or until meat is done. Continue as directed.

Tip 3

Substitute

Substitute apple juice for the apple cider.
