Simple Smoked Ribs

Clean then season the ribs with Rileys Smokin Sweet BBQ Rub. Season at least 2 hrs before smoking. Best when done the night before.

Soak 2 cups hickory wood chips in water for an hour or so.

Prepare the grill for indirect cooking, and position a drip pan under the grate with a little water or beer/fruit juice combination.

Drop a handful of soaked hickory over coals when ready to barbeque. Brush grate lightly with oil.

Position ribs on grill directly above the drip pan.

Close the lid, and cook for 2-3 hours, spraying or mopping every 45 mins or so.

After 2-3 hours, brush the ribs with Rileys barbeque sauce every 10-15 minutes for an half hour.

Add more coals and/or hickory chips as needed. Carve the ribs, and serve.

Riley's Savory Poultry Butter

(Compound or Herb Butter)

You can use this recipe for all your Thanksgiving Birds. Even great on other proteins and veggies.

1 stick butter

2.5 Tablespoons Savory Poultry Seasoning

Start with butter at room temperature. This makes it much easier to work with. Chop the butter into small cubes, and then mash it with a fork until it is soft.

Begin by adding the seasoning into the butter in the bowl and mash until combined.

Prepare the Chicken or Turkey: Loosen skin: Working from the neck end, slide fingers under skin until you reach the end of the breast, being careful not to tear the skin; rub at least half of the herb butter under the skin. With the remaining herb butter, rub it on the outside and entire bird.

You can replace the Riley's Savory Poultry with Riley's Smokin Sweet or Riley's All Purpose for different profiles. Excellent for Roasting or Smoking.

Use this same method with our Bold Blend Seasonings for Steaks. Just placed herd butter on plastic wrap, shape into a roll. Store in fridge for a few weeks or freeze and slice as needed.

Riley's Savory Poultry Gravy

1 stick butter

2/3 cup flour

32 oz Chicken Stock

2.5 Tablespoons Riley's Savory Poultry Seasoning

-In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until golden or until your desired color. Whisk often to prevent rue from burning.

-(Optional) whisk in pan drippings. (If you have more than a cup of drippings, use it and reduce the amount of stock.

-Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened. I like to simmer for 10-15 minutes to cook away the flour taste.

-Stir in Riley's Savory Poultry, then whisk in chicken stock

-Simmer 10-15 minutes, gradually adding more stock or water if gravy is too thick. Adjust seasoning.

*Feel free to use Vegetable Stock or your own stock.

If you use water add more seasoning to taste.
