SUNNY'S SPICY HAWAIIAN BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepot on medium heat, add the pineapple and plenty of coarse freshly cracked black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pineapple begins to bubble and brown a bit, about 20 minutes. Add the BBQ sauce, gochujang and vinegar and whisk to combine. If the mixture is too loose, cook down to a thicker consistency; if it is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen, but no more than 1/4 cup.
• Let the sauce cool. When close to room temperature, stir in the cilantro.

SUNNY'S EASY BBQ BRAISED BRISKET WITH SWEET POTATO AND CARROT MASH

Steps:

• Coat the brisket on all sides with the rub and actually rub it in. Pull out a length of plastic wrap for the brisket and drizzle some oil where you plan to place the brisket. Place the brisket on top and drizzle the top with oil. Wrap tightly and rest at room temperature for 2 hours. If you are making this ahead of time, you can refrigerate, then rest on the counter for 2 hours before braising.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the brisket and sear on all sides until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onions, carrots and potatoes to the pot and cook for a few minutes to coat them in the fat and get a bit of color. Make the contents of the pot as level as possible, toss in the garlic, then place the seared brisket on top of the vegetables.
• Stir together the BBQ sauce and stock in a medium bowl. Add to the pot around the brisket, being careful to only fill halfway up the brisket, leaving a bit of the seared meat above the liquid line (you may not use all the liquid). Raise to a boil and lower to a low simmer. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 hours without peeking, until the brisket is tender!
• Remove the brisket from the pot to a plate and cover gently with aluminum foil. Remove the vegetables from the pot with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, adding liquid from the pot if needed for texture. Use the remaining liquid as a sauce for the brisket, if desired. Transfer the mash to a bowl and fold in the parsley. Serve with the sliced brisket and additional sauce.

SUNNY'S CLASSIC BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine and chicken: In a medium pot on high heat, add the tea, 1/4 cup salt and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring, until the salt dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Pour the cooled brine into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs and breasts and refrigerate overnight.
• About 2 hours before grilling, remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry. Let rest on a plate in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours, then at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• For the sauce. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the ketchup, beer, brown sugar, paprika, chile flakes, garlic powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the sugar is completely dissolved, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken pieces. Over the direct heat, put the chicken on the grill on what would be the skin side. Grill until the chicken easily releases and there are grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and move the chicken to the indirect heat area of the grill and brush with the sauce. Cover and grill until cooked through, brushing with the sauce again once or twice, another 6 to 8 minutes.

SUNNY'S RACKED WINGS WITH MUSTARD BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the mustard, beer or tea, cane syrup, hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, a pinch of salt and plenty of grinds of black pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill for indirect cooking to 375 degrees F.
• Place the wings on a wire rack, then top with a second wire rack and secure with wire on both sides. Sprinkle on both sides with salt, pepper and a dusting of paprika. Place on the grill over the indirect heat, meat-side down. Close the grill and cook for about 15 minutes. Baste with the sauce, then flip the wings and brush with more sauce. Continue to grill until the wings are golden and the sauce is set and sticky, about 15 minutes more. Serve with the bread and pickles.
