How to Make Bbq Lamb With Canadian Whisky

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Canadian rye whiskey, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar until sugar dissolves. Set aside. Lightly grease one side of your BBQ grill and preheat to high heat on one burner.
  2. Sear the lamb on all sides over high heat until nicely browned. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Turn off the high-heat burner. Turn on a second burner to medium heat. Move the lamb to the medium-heat side and brush generously with the whiskey basting sauce.
  4. Close the BBQ lid and cook for approximately 2 hours, turning the lamb every 20 minutes and basting frequently with the sauce. Maintain an internal temperature of 325-350°F (160-175°C).
  5. Once the internal temperature reaches 155-160°F (68-71°C), remove the lamb from the grill. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  6. (Optional) For sliders, slice the rested lamb thinly and serve on mini buns with your favorite toppings (mint jelly, caramelized onions, tomato slices).
