Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the St. Louis ribs and Fulton St. ribs generously with your favorite BBQ rub. Place them on the grill bone side down and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

  2. 2

    Cooking the BBQ Chicken

    Season the BBQ chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or smoke over medium heat until fully cooked, about 1-1.5 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Brisket

    Rub the brisket with salt, pepper, and any other spices you prefer. Smoke or slow cook at 225°F (107°C) for about 10-12 hours until it’s tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C). Let it rest before slicing.

  4. 4

    Grill the sausage links over medium heat until cooked through and browned, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Frying the Chicken Wings

    Deep fry or bake the chicken wings until crispy and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Toss in your favorite wing sauce.

  6. 6

    Making the Chimichangas

    Fill tortillas with a mixture of beans, cheese, and meat of choice. Roll tightly and fry until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serving the Red Beans

    Prepare red beans by boiling them until tender, season with spices and serve in a bowl.

  8. 8

    Plating

    Arrange all components on a large platter: St. Louis ribs, Fulton St. ribs, BBQ chicken, brisket, sausage links, chicken wings, chimichangas, and bowl of red beans. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
