To make a smokey barbecue-style beef brisket in the oven, just rub it down with straight liquid smoke, season (use a curing salt with sodium nitrite if you want a pink smoke ring), bake uncovered at 225ºF / 107ºC convection (go a little hotter if you don’t have a fan) for a few hours until brown all over. Try to keep a little water in the

Take the brisket out, splash on some more liquid smoke (if you like it really smokey), cover it tightly with foil, put it back on the rack and bake at the same oven temperature until the core of the meat reads 195ºF / 91ºC — this will probably take at least 12 hours, like a real smoked barbecue brisket. Let it rest in the foil for a half hour before slicing.

To make smokey barbecue-style chicken, go with bone-in, skin-on dark meat pieces. Season them with as much salt as you’d normally use, pour on enough straight liquid smoke to generously coat everything, and let the chicken sit for an hour or two to brine/marinate.

After the chicken has brined, season it with any additional herbs and spices you want, and bake the same way as the brisket, except you won’t need to wrap the chicken in foil and it’ll probably take half the time. It’s done when it’s soft enough to pull (shred).

To make a simple BBQ sauce, combine stuff like ketchup, molasses, mustard, hot sauce, vinegar and Worcestershire until you like how it tastes. BBQ is also good with pickles, and maybe on a bun.

  1. Using a reducing sugar e.g. maltose (present in malt and molasses) instead of table sugar (fructose + glucose -also a reducing sugar but in a 50/50 ratio) in the the meat rub would promote the maillard reaction more readily which should inhance the browning and theoretically give off a deeper brown color. Plus maybe the molasses could lend its deep brown color to the meat.
    Not sure if this would make a distinguished difference to the end results but maybe it's worth trying out.

  2. I much more prefer the now Live commentary from Adam as he cooks instead of the voice-overs, just adds more of a way to understand as it all happens live and he talks about it live.

  3. I gotta try this.

    I got into wannabe smoking recently, just using a smoke gun on my food both before and after cooking it.

    Granted that burns wood and uses real smoke but I figure if I'm already not doing it authentic I might as well make it easier on myself.

    I'm already using an electric grill. Might as well use liquid smoke.

  4. This video is RIFE with mental illness. Save it for when you're off camera, the apathy and the selfish lack of concern for your viewers is really showing here. Adam, not everything is about you and I don't care what's going on with your 'mental health'; entertain me or stop making videos. This entire production was low effort and cringe, you make me sick. If you've given up, give up; this video should be humiliating for you.

  5. No.
    This is heresy.
    I'm calling the bbq inquisition.

    Yes pitmaster, this video right here. This is the one.

    Shall we burn the heretic?

    Pitmaster: yes, definitely…right after lunch…err and dinner…tommorrrr, well, eventually. Probably.

  6. hey adam, great video as always! One minor criticism and its just my opinion but I prefer the old style you filmed your videos, felt more professional and more like a video than say a cooking show but amazing recipe as always!
