Wheat (in the buns)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 cup BBQ dry rub
  • 1 cup applewood smoked BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 8 slider buns
  • 16 pickle slices
  • 4 slices of smoky cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Apply the BBQ dry rub to the brisket, making sure it's evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  2. Preheat your smoker or grill to 250°F (120°C). Smoke the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C), using the "Texas Triple Baste" method: baste with BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar at 4 hour intervals.
  3. Remove the brisket from the heat and allow it to rest for 30 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin pieces.
  4. Assemble sliders by layering brisket, pickle slices, and smoky cheddar cheese on slider buns.
  5. Grill or toast the slider buns briefly until they are warm and slightly crispy.
