Ingredients
  

  • One raccoon size doesn't matter, but bigger means more grub!
  • 2 cans of cheap beer one for the raccoon, one for you!
  • A big ol' bunch of BBQ sauce store-bought or that secret family recipe
  • Salt pepper, garlic powder, onion powder – all to taste
  • Redneck rub: Brown sugar chili powder, paprika, cayenne (if you like it spicy!)

Instructions
 

  • Preppin' the Raccoon: First things first, skin and clean that raccoon real good. Get rid of any shot or road residue. Yep, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
  • The Boozy Bath: Take that raccoon and marinate it in one can of beer. Make sure it's fully immersed. Let it soak for about 4-6 hours, or as long as it takes you to finish the other can.
  • Rubbin' it Right: While your raccoon's getting all boozy, mix together your salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and that redneck rub in a big ol' bowl. Once mixed, rub it generously onto the raccoon. Make sure you get every nook and cranny!
  • Grillin' Time: Fire up that grill! Get it nice and hot, but then turn it down to a medium heat. We're slow cookin' this critter to perfection.
  • Let's Get Cookin': Place the raccoon on the grill, bone side down. Close the lid and let it cook for about 2 hours. Every half hour or so, give it a good slatherin' of that BBQ sauce. Keep an eye on it, and if it looks like it's getting too charred, turn down the heat or move it to a cooler part of the grill.
  • Checkin' for Done-ness: After about 2 hours, give that raccoon a poke with a fork. If it's tender and the meat's starting to fall off the bone, it's ready. If not, keep it on the grill and check every 20 minutes.
  • Feast! Once it's done, take that raccoon off the grill, let it rest for a bit, then dig in with your buddies! Serve with a side of coleslaw, baked beans, or whatever else tickles your redneck fancy.

Notes

There you have it, folks! A raccoon recipe fit for a king... or at least the king of the trailer park. So next time you find yourself with some unexpected roadkill, don't let it go to waste. Happy grillin', y'all!
