Slow cooked on the Grill Pork Lion with a spicy dry rub

Who in the South doesnt love BBQ and that good Bark crust!!

I bought a Boneless Pork Lion and cut it in half. ( I freeze the other half for a later date)

I created a nice dry rub:
tsp coarse black pepper
tsp cinnamon
tsp sea salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
tsp dry mustard
tsp nutmeg
tsp sage
tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp granulated garlic
tsp cumin

I rub my pork down really good and place in a double tinfoil bed. I put it on the grill for 10 mins and then add a cup of Coke to the bed of my tinfoil. This helps to create that Bark and get a caramelize going with the sugar.
I tent up my foil and continue to cook until the internal temp of my pork is 160 degrees. I removed my pork from the tinfoil and placed it on the grill for a few mins to crust it up and get that dark bark crust you can see in my picture.
This was so good. My kids could not believe how good it was!

Deep Fried Cajun Turkey Wings with Roasted Purple Potatoes

Since I LOVE cajun turkey I wanted to create something at home that would be easy and good. I found these cool purple potatoes at Publix last week on sale!! They had a more earthy taste.

My cajun rub was easy:

tsp cumin

tsp paprika

tsp coarse black pepper

tsp Old bay spice

tsp salt

tsp celery seed or flake

tsp dry mustard

I rubbed my turkey wings down and let them sit in the fridge for abotu 5 hours. Then I heated my deep fryer to 350 degrees. I have a middle size one that stays on my back porch and has a basket in it. I removed the basket to have enough room to place the large turkey wing in there. 

I wrapped my turkey wing in tinfoil like 3 times. Leaving no way for grease to get in there. I put my turkey in the fryer and cooked it for 6-8 mins. * NOTE THE INTERNAL TEMP OF TURKEY NEEDS TO BE 165 DEGREES.

My potatoes I placed in my roaster oven at 400 degrees for 20 mins. I diced them into qtrs and tossed with EVOO, salt, pepper  and granulated garlic. 

great meal, something different to mix up dinner
