Marinated Smoked Chicken or Beef Recipe

Lady Rooster's Marinate

2/3 cup Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp. Brown sugar
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1 tsp. yellow mustard
1/4 cup vinegar or lemon juice


Tenderize beef than marinate for at least 6 hours, over night for more flavor.
Pour marinate over beef in a Ziplock bag, turning a few times.  Great on Kabobs also.

Place chicken breast/pieces in Ziplock bag pour marinate over.  Same amount
of marinating time as with beef.

Do not re-use marinate.

Gilbert's Dry BBQ Rub

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 (2.5 oz) chili powder (less is okay more is better)

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. ground nutmeg

Dash ground clove

1 pkg dry lime powdered drink mix (Margarita, Kool-Aid)

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. cayenne power

 Mix above ingredients together, can be stored for months in dry location.

Cover rare meat with dry rub just before smoking.

Good on turkey, chicken, brisket, etc.

As meat smokes the sugar hardens and holds in the liquids.

Wet Sauce to serve with smoked meats:

1/2 cup dry mix

1 1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup wine/water
