greychamp Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Last year, I went to Owensboro, KY and ate BBQed mutton for the first time. It was great!! I liked it so much that I recently bought 1/2 of a 2-year old sheep from a friend who raises them. This past Sunday, I BBQed a whole leg of mutton. On Saturday, I rubbed it with a mixture of 1/3 c kosher salt, 1/4 c turbinado sugar, 1 T garlic powder, 1 T onion powder, 2 T ground black pepper and 2 t ground allspice. I kept in the fridge overnight. Next morning, I cooked it for 3 hours over hickory smoke at 225[sup:3jznf78u]0[/sup:3jznf78u]F. I then foiled it with 1/4 c apple juice and cooked it at 350[sup:3jznf78u]0[/sup:3jznf78u]F for another 3 hours. I then removed the leg from the foil and cooked it at about 350 for 45 minutes to let the outside develop a good bark. It turned out excellent and my guests were really impressed.
