Oven BBQ Brisket
1 large beef brisket (2-3 pounds)
kosher salt and pepper
lots of foil
1 bottle (or homemade recipe) of your favorite BBQ sauce
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Trim most of the fat layer off of the brisket. Leave a few thin-ish patches on.
Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Lay the brisket, fat up, on 3 layers of foil, with enough extra to wrap completely around the brisket. Slather the top with BBQ sauce, making sure it is well-covered (this usually uses about half the bottle for me. We like KC Masterpiece Original)
Fold the foil over, and double-crimp the edges. Lay the whole foil packet on a baking sheet, and bake for 6-8 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest 1 whole hour. This step is critical!!!
After the hour rest, unwrap. Save the juices/sauce. Slice the brisket against the grain, and serve with extra sauce poured over.
