👨🍳 Nakita's Kitchen Chef & Pitmaster Notes
"For the best result with this custom recipe, make sure to prep and pre-portion all ingredients before starting heat. If cooking on the Kamado Joe Classic III or Oklahoma Joe DLX 900 pellet smoker, hold your cooking temperature at 425°F indirect for an authentic wood-fired flavor profile!"
