I am not providing amounts because I eyeballed everything. I used like 3 kg of chicken.
The rub combination is personal and everyone has different tastes. For me, the proportions were 3:1:5, 3 of paprika, garlic, onion, rosemary, 1 of cayenne, and 5 of the rest. Feel free to try with other spices as well (these were the only ones available to me at the time I tried this recipe).
Same story with the bbq sauce. I actually mixed two different bbq sauces and added honey, soy sauce and lemon juice until I liked the taste.
Since I prepared this one day in advance, I warmed up the chicken the next day in a pot with the broth I made from the skin and bones.

Pics of the chicken. In order: raw chicken, still raw but with the sauce, and cooked chicken. I forgot to take a pic of the pulled chicken

Notes
I made the mistake of putting marshmallows inside the brownies. Naturally, they didn't cook properly.
If you want to make marshmallow brownies, just put the marshmallows on top after the brownies are done cooking and let them brown.
Or cut the cooked browies in half, fill them with marshmallows and let them melt.
Idk the sky is your limit.

Cakepops go to top
Ingredients

What do
- make brownies

Notes
As you can guess, I made this when my first brownie attempt failed due to me putting marshmallows inside the raw brownies and the batter not cooking properly. I improvised cakepops to attempt and save them. It was actually too sweet, so maybe try less marshmallows.

You should try:
- adding sugar, salt, or spices to the mix
- adding chocolate or peanut butter to the mix
- adding fruit chunks (i added bananas and chocolate chunks and peanut butter and it was delicious, see picture below)
- measuring by eye instead of by weight: I usually do 1 big spoon of flour and 2 spoons of yogurt for each egg (but please try until you get a consistency you like)

If you put just a little fruit or none, cook for 30-35 minutes first and then check if it's still raw. If you cover the top in fruit then cook for at least 45 mins, but potentially more.
Tastes better with some chocolate spread!
