Who's Cooking: Peter Cavanaugh

When did you start cooking? I guess I learned a lot from my parents. My mother was basically inside cooking spaghetti, meatloaf, all kinds of stuff, for my entire childhood. My father barbecued everything from ribs to kielbasa to chicken. If you could cook it, he would put it on the barbecue.

One can of beer
One 4-pound chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
