Description

This traditional American barbecue paste is the secret weapon for achieving authentic, smoky flavors on a whole hog. The blend of head country barbecue spices creates a deeply aromatic crust, while the olive oil helps the seasoning adhere evenly to the meat. White vinegar adds a necessary tang that cuts through the richness of the pork fat during the long smoking process. This paste is ideal for pitmasters preparing for large gatherings, festivals, or family reunions. It transforms a simple rub into a flavorful coating that withstands hours of cooking, resulting in tender, juicy meat with a bark that has serious depth and character.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 pounds of head country barbecue spice with the 2 cups of olive oil.
  2. Stir vigorously until the oil is fully incorporated and the mixture forms a thick, consistent paste with no dry pockets of spice remaining.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the 2 cups of white vinegar while continuing to stir, adjusting the consistency if a thinner or thicker application is desired.
  4. Ensure the whole hog is clean and dry before applying the paste generously over the entire surface of the meat and skin.
