Braising the Brisket
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated brisket pieces in a large baking dish and pour any remaining BBQ sauce over the top.

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and braise in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender.

Finishing the Burnt Ends
Remove the brisket from the oven and carefully take off the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

Transfer the brisket pieces to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the edges are caramelized and crispy.
