Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal.

The beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts, though the precise definition of the cut differs internationally.

The brisket muscles include the superficial and deep pectorals.

As cattle do not have collar bones, these muscles support about 60% of the body weight of standing/moving cattle.

This requires a significant amount of connective tissue, so the resulting meat must be cooked correctly to tenderize the connective tissue.

Barbecue or barbeque (informally BBQ or barby/barbies) is both a cooking method and an apparatus.

Barbecuing is done slowly over low, indirect heat and the food is flavored by the smoking process, while grilling, a related process, is generally done quickly over moderate-to-high direct heat that hardly produces smoke.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl.

It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011.

Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.

Smoking is the process of flavoring, browning, cooking, or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood.

Meats and fish are the most common smoked foods, though cheeses, vegetables, and ingredients used to make beverages such as whisky, smoked beer, and lapsang souchong tea are also smoked.

Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food.

Humans have hunted and killed animals for meat since prehistoric times.

The advent of civilization allowed the domestication of animals such as chickens, sheep, pigs and cattle.

This eventually led to their use in meat production on an industrial scale with the aid of slaughterhouses.
