I think Billy's favorite is Wilbur's. I liked Parker's a lot more before they switched to gas.
First off, GFY for misspelling Wilber's. Secondly, here is a list of the best BBQ
I've yet to make it to Grady's but I have heard nothing but good things about it. It's on my bucket list along with B's
I have been to a few that are better than Lexington BBQ. IMO, Wilber's, Skylight, Bum's. I prefer eastern style over Lexington style but they are several places in Lexington that make damn good que. The main thing whether eastern or Lexington style is do they cook with wood.
Don't know where you went but Williamston is right in the heart of eastern style BBQ country so you likely got some good que.. Do you remember the name of the place?
Wish I'd known you were going to be there. Might could have joined you. We are actually located between Wilson and Goldsboro, so if you guys are hitting the BBQ joints in either place, we might be available. Sam Jones Barbecue in Greenville is dadgum good (channeling my Roy), as well as B's and the Skylight Inn.
Yeah, it's the same family. I think Sam Jones has a little bigger menu selection, but the BBQ is pretty much the same. Cooked over wood.
Should have said barbecued chicken I guess. Damn boy, don't you know we don't have grammar police in the country!

I was legitimately asking what "barbecue chicken" is because I thought barbecue should only refer to pork! I'm generally curious. I do love barbecue and I love chicken, so it sounds great either way.
Ok man, thought you were just busting my chops. Barbecued chicken is usually cooked on the grill using whatever barbecue sauce that is preferred by the cook or the consumers of the chicken. Some folks like a red sauce, but, naturally, since I am from the eastern part of NC, I prefer a more vinegar based sauce. B's chicken uses this type of sauce also. You can also cook chicken in the oven or crockpot using barbecue sauce (of course) and it's pretty good, but not close to grilled IMO.
Never tried chicken cooked in the vinegar sauce. That sounds incredible
I don't know what you are calling red sauce but Lexington style sauce is vinegar based also. People make a big deal about eastern and western sauce and the truth is a little bit of ketchup is the only difference.
I'm so glad you asked. I also enjoy barbecued chicken from time-to-time. I grew up on my grandaddys eastern style, it was simply THE SHIT. He did it 2 ways, and what determined that was how much time he had. If it was a weekend he slow smoked the chicken on a grill by just pushing the charcoal to one side and chopped up some of his hickory wood into small chunks to add a few pieces during the cook. The other side of the grill had a pan down on the charcoal grate with water in it and the chicken would be quartered and placed on the grill over that. That's pretty much real smoking and of course the preferred method for my taste buds. It takes about 2.5 hours to smoke it then he would pull it off the bone and throw it in a pot of eastern nc style (straight up vinegar, a little water, butter, flecked black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes) and let that simmer for about 30 minutes. Gotdamn!
