Big Julie's BBQ Rub & Sauces<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
In 1952, Matt Shaffer's grandfather, John D., began selling BBQ chicken to support the growing agriculture community in the Shenandoah Valley. During the 1950s and 1960s, John D. took his BBQ show on the road with his original food truck, The Chicken Palace, attending various festivals and fairs across the state. During the 1970s, Matt's father, George, took over the business and their reputation for outstanding BBQ expanded across the region. Shaffer's has had a BBQ stand at the Shenandoah County Fair in Woodstock, VA, every year since 1956 and caters events large and small - including one for 5,000 people outside Atoka, VA.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Having grown up in the family business, Matt always enjoyed the camaraderie and community spirit elicited by cooking BBQ. After 10 years flying helicopters in the Navy and starting a food truck in Arlington, Matt settled with his wife Julie in the Winchester area of Virginia. Their rubs and sauces are all made from scratch using all-natural ingredients. Quality, Service, and Value remain the pillars of his family business. Julie and Matt enjoy carrying on the family tradition.<\/p>\n[easyazon_link keywords=\"Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub\" locale=\"US\" tag=\"ftd-20\"]Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub[\/easyazon_link] is all-natural & gluten-free - no artificial anything!

I found the flavor profiles of\u00a0[easyazon_link keywords=\"Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub\" locale=\"US\" tag=\"ftd-20\"]Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub[\/easyazon_link] to be high on the WOW factor scale! My first impression upon tasting the rub was that this is not your typical salt based rub recipe. I must admit that as a salt junkie I was dubious but after using one of my time tested techniques to smoke fresh chicken thighs I learned that my skepticism was unwarranted.<\/p>\n

Rubbed olive oil<\/a> and a liberal amount of [easyazon_link keywords=\"Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub\" locale=\"US\" tag=\"ftd-20\"]Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub[\/easyazon_link] on and under the skin of the chicken thighs. Smoked the chicken thighs at 180\u00baF with Hickory<\/a> for an hour before bumping the pit temperature to 375\u00baF until the internal temperature<\/a> reached 180\u00baF. The end results were very crispy and succulent chicken thighs worthy of being served for any special occasion yet elegant enough for your weekday family dinner table.<\/p>\n[easyazon_link keywords=\"Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub\" locale=\"US\" tag=\"ftd-20\"]Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub[\/easyazon_link]Highly recommend visiting\u00a0[easyazon_link keywords=\"Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub\" locale=\"US\" tag=\"ftd-20\"]Big Julies's All Purpose BBQ Rub[\/easyazon_link] website to get your hands on their all purpose rub.
