I prefer to rate a recipe on the ACTUAL recipe, not what I added or substituted. I made this recipe as stated and we loved it! My only disgression was using slightly less garlic (2 tbs) and lite soy sauce. I didn't add any additional spices/sauces and it was absolutely delicious! The aroma was amazing as it cooked and the prep was so simple. I didn't need to go out and buy anything I didn't already have in my kitchen. I wanted something quick and easy for chicken thighs and was happy to find this recipe. I will use it next time I make boneless breasts and serve it with plain rice as I feel the sauce we go well over the rice. Thanks!

I made this rub with all dried ingredients but kept amounts the same as I was coatinga 20lb. turkey. I cooked it for about 2 hours breast side down and tented and then turned it and tented it it for another 2 hrs. Removed foil for last 45-55mins. Everyone LOVED the aroma, flavor, everything..it was easy and delicious!

This is basically the way I cook my corned beef every year with the exception of the garlic. I did add that this year and it was terrific! I add two bottles of beer to my corned beef every year and I swear it makes the difference. Don't be afraid to try it. If you don't want the alcoholic content, I would suggest using O'Douls Amber. It is a non alcoholic beer and is darker and richer than the regular O'Douls but you'll still get some of that beer taste and tenderization.
