Comments
As a succulent version, cut the animal into serving size pieces and put them on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Salt and pepper to taste, add a little butter, close foil tightly, and cook over medium coals for an hour. Open the foil and brown the pieces close to hot coals, basting frequently with the barbecue sauce. This method can also be used in the oven, and the meat browned under the broiler. You can also substitute your favorite barbecue sauce for this sauce recipe.
