Carolina-Style "Whole Hog" Barbecue Pork
ALLRECIPES / KAREN HIBBARD
“The flavor is amazing! So easy to make and so delicious! Chef John wasn't exaggerating when he said that if you haven't had whole hog pulled pork, you haven't really had pulled pork. The combinations of flavors and textures once everything has been pulled and blended together is simply incredible. This will be my go-to for pulled pork from now on.” — Jon Hennington

Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“These ribs are absolutely delicious! The method was very easy and resulted in perfectly cooked ribs. The texture of the meat is perfect and not overcooked like so many other recipes. The spice rub is so good I would suggest doubling or tripling the recipe to keep on hand for everything. I served them with Chef John's Barbeque Sauce and my husband was very impressed. He ate all of the leftovers the next day. Thanks, Chef John!” — Lacyanne

Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken Barbecue
dotdash meredith food studios
“This was delicious! I was a little skeptical with the Italian dressing but I said it can’t hurt to try it. So happy I did, it was a big hit with my family. My grandson who only eats chicken nuggets and pizza also gave it a try which he never wants to try anything, he ate three plates! Yes three! I couldn’t believe it, I was brought to tears. I will definitely be making this again.” — Brigette Taylor

Basic Air Fryer Hot Dogs
BUCKWHEAT QUEEN
“These hot dogs were as good as cooking them on the grill. I have an inexpensive air fryer that does not have a preheat feature. I cooked the hot dogs first, then the buns. I scored the hot dogs before cooking for 6 minutes, turning them after 3 minutes. I buttered Martin's Potato Rolls and cooked them for 4 minutes. I also used parchment liners so there was no mess!” — Steph |

“The flavor is amazing! So easy to make and so delicious! Chef John wasn't exaggerating when he said that if you haven't had whole hog pulled pork, you haven't really had pulled pork. The combinations of flavors and textures once everything has been pulled and blended together is simply incredible. This will be my go-to for pulled pork from now on.” — Jon Hennington

## Carolina-Style "Whole Hog" Barbecue Pork
ALLRECIPES / KAREN HIBBARD
“The flavor is amazing! So easy to make and so delicious! Chef John wasn't exaggerating when he said that if you haven't had whole hog pulled pork, you haven't really had pulled pork. The combinations of flavors and textures once everything has been pulled and blended together is simply incredible. This will be my go-to for pulled pork from now on.” — Jon Hennington

## Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“These ribs are absolutely delicious! The method was very easy and resulted in perfectly cooked ribs. The texture of the meat is perfect and not overcooked like so many other recipes. The spice rub is so good I would suggest doubling or tripling the recipe to keep on hand for everything. I served them with Chef John's Barbeque Sauce and my husband was very impressed. He ate all of the leftovers the next day. Thanks, Chef John!” — Lacyanne
