These sweet and spicy burnt ends made with chuck roast are the perfect BBQ snack. Chuck roast burnt ends are otherwise known as the poor mans burnt ends because of the cheaper and smaller cut of meat compared to a brisket. They less also less fatty than traditional burnt ends made from pork belly making them more appealing to most people. The recipe is very simple recipe, but it does take time and patience.

Step 1: Smoke the chuck roast

To start off, coat the chuck roast with some form of a binder for the seasoning. I used W sauce but hot sauce or yellow mustard will also work. Next, season the roast with Dad’s All Purpose rub for the savory taste.

Time to get the grill going. Preheat the grill to 250 degrees indirect heat. For this cook, I tried the new Low and Slow charcoal by Kingsford. Added a few wood chunks and it held up the entire cook. If using a kettle grill like I did, arrange the charcoal briquets on one side of the grill and place the protein on the opposite end. Once the temperature is reached, throw the seasoned chuck roast directly on the grates for about 3 hours.

Step 2: Make sweet and spicy BBQ sauce

While the chuck roast is smoking, make the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. Once you start making your own sauces, you will no longer enjoy using store bought. It’s a great way to customize the flavors to your liking. Whether you like it more sweet, spicy or savory, make it for yourself.

In a saucepan add ketchup, yellow mustard, red wine vinegar, molasses, W sauce, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, honey, Dad’s All Purpose rub and a maple bourbon rub. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens. Set aside.

Step 3: Make sweet and spicy burnt ends

After 3 hours, remove the chuck roast off the grill and cube it up into bite size pieces. Place the chunks into an aluminum pan and coat it heavily with the homemade sweet and spicy sauce. Mix in the sauce with the chuck roast bites making sure everything is evenly covered.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and put it back on the grill at 250 degrees for another 2-3 hours until the meat is probe tender. This means the temperature probe goes into the meat without any resistance.

Let the sweet and spicy burnt ends cool down and serve. Enjoy!
