Welcome to Kylie J's Kitchen.

Introduce the recipe for barbecue pigtail.

Show the cured pigtail and explain where to get it.

Remove a small amount of pigtail and cut it into smaller pieces.

Wash the pigtail with vinegar and lime.

Scald the pigtail in boiling water at least three times to remove excess salt and soften it.

After scalding, discard the water and repeat the process with fresh water.

Prepare the barbecue sauce by adding boiling water to a pot.

Add brown sugar to the boiling water (or granulated sugar as an alternative).

Add ketchup to the pot and rinse the container with a little water to get all the ketchup out.

Add a piece of butter to the sauce for flavor.

Add soya sauce, a small amount of honey, chopped onion, paprika, all-purpose seasoning, and black pepper to the sauce.

Combine everything and bring the sauce to a boil until it thickens slightly.

After scalding the pigtail three times, run cold water over it and let it sit until ready to use.

Combine the pigtail with the barbecue sauce in a bowl, ensuring it is well coated.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius.

Transfer the pigtail and sauce into a pyrex dish.

Place the pyrex dish in the oven for about 40 minutes or until the pigtail is soft.

Suggest serving with rice and peas, white rice, vegetables, or bread.

Show the final product of the barbecue pigtail.
