Tips & Substitutions
For a smoky flavor, consider adding wood chips to the coals while grilling. If you don't have Johnny Harris barbecue sauce, a homemade mustard-vinegar sauce can be a great substitute. Adjust the seasoning to your liking; adding a bit of paprika can enhance the color and flavor. This recipe is versatile and can be adapted to include different spices or marinades, similar to other popular American recipes.
