Since I can eat Eastern North Carolina Bar-B-Q only occasionaly, I have turned to yard birds. This place has chicken that taste just like ENC pork, REALLY. Only open Thursday thru Saturday but, here is the location.

 HIGHLANDER BBQ1989 viewsIf you pass through Roan Mountain, TN and don't stop, you will never know the delight of Pig Wings.

I confess, my Hiking Pal, RAT, ate the Pig Wings, I ate the best BBQ chicken money can buy.

Besides, these are simply nice folks. When I ordered Possum Heather politely informed me that due to a large order they were out of possum.

Glad they were out of possum but, I kept Dr. Chang happy and ate the chicken. They have several sauces and Eastern NC vinegar is hard to beat but, their own sauce is better.
