Midnight Barbecue

Midnight Barbecue Midnight Barbecue was created after the birth of my first child. All of our barbecue is made from scratch.

My wife came up with the name "Midnight Barbecue" because it seemed as if we were always up past midnight creating our homemade barbecue sauces. At Midnight Barbecue, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality and most flavorful barbecue and catering services. We use our own recipes for dry rubs and sauces and we aren't afraid to experiment with flavor profiles.

for the win again! I’ve never had a juicier or more tender bird. Started with the Traeger brine (with a little bourbon addition) for 24 hours. Traeger turkey rub plus the addition of some granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Chicken stock with minced garlic in the pan for hydration and basting. 225 degrees super smoke for 5 hours, finished for another hour or so on 350 to an internal temp of 170. 30 minute rest, slice and devoured.

Just felt like rolling the Ironwood today. Started by dry rubbing wings and some cubed pork butt. Both were slow smoked and the pork butt was turned into burnt ends using sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. Wings were finished with BBQ sauce and Buffalo sauce. Unreal finish.

Well the first cook ok the is done and oh man is it amazing! I decided to make a meatloaf for god knows what reason and it did not disappoint! The meatloaf was smoked with Traeger Signature Wood Pellet blend for just over 3 hours at 225 degrees. It was finished with our house made orange honey habanero BBQ sauce. Man oh man is it delicious!

Today was sauce day at Midnight BBQ! Homemade barbecue sauce is our specialty. This was the largest scale that I have done of this sauce. Yield was almost 80 ounces. This sauce is my famous Orange Honey Habanero sauce. The spice did not come through like I had hoped, but it’s still present. Always tinkering with this recipe!

I had a chance to go fishing off the NJ coast with my dad. We were each able to reel in a black sea bass. They were filleted on board the boat and tonight I got to cook them. To say they were delicious is an understatement. Really simple recipe as well. Scroll through to see start to finish. @ Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Easter Ham yesterday was nothing short of fantastic! Glazed with orange juice, honey, brown sugar and butter and steamed in a bath of tropical fruit juices. 14.39 pounds and 4.5 hours later and the second photo was born. Happy Easter! @ Readington, New Jersey

Social distancing here in NJ is easier with sun and warm temperatures. Naturally, the grill was hot and I grilled up some Asian bourbon chicken breasts. The marinade is from www.skinnytaste.com and was unbelievable! It paired nicely with some Italian style skillet potatoes and we would have loved to have some sweet corn on the cob! @ Readington, New Jersey

Thanks to my brother-in-law I got a new deep fryer for Christmas this year. I thought the best thing to do for her maiden voyage was wings. Picked up some 1st and 2nd chicken wing pieces at and went to town. The wings were seasoned in salt, pepper, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper before resting for 2 hours in the fridge. Fryer was set to 375 and the wings were dropped for 15 minutes to become crispy and golden brown. House made wing sauce was added. Final product is the last photo. Let me know your thoughts! @ Readington, New Jersey

Well it’s cold here in so that means time for soup! My wife called me and said she wasn’t feeling well and we all know the best cure for a cold is homemade chicken soup. So, on my way home from work I made a quick stop at and picked up some organic ingredients. Being my first attempt at soup this came out really great. Happy wife... happy life! I’m sure my grandmother is proud! If you would like the recipe send me a DM or call/text. Stay warm! @ Readington, New Jersey

Another successful Friendsgiving yesterday. I haven’t cooked too many turkeys in my life, but this year I did everything from scratch. 20 pound bird was brined in my own blend of spices for 24 hours. After that, the turkey was dressed with my traditional house poultry spice blend and lots of butter! 325 degrees for about 5 hours got us to temperature. After that it was sliced and delivered! The turkey was moist and full of flavor! Definitely a fan favorite!
