\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>I recently moved back to Lansing, and kept driving down MLK and seeing this corner BBQ stand called Michael&#8217;s. \u00a0I eventually stopped by with Matt but we were both too gluttonous and hungry to take pictures and form coherent sentences. Anyways, I decided to drop by for some Lunch. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure the exact hours they keep but it seems to be around the lunch window, maybe early dinner too. \u00a0The BBQ chicken and ribs are slathered in a rich and robust BBQ sauce. \u00a0There is absolutely no shortage of the BBQ sauce when you order the ribs or the chicken. \u00a0It&#8217;s neither too sweet nor too smoky, great balance and a consistency that stays on the meat without being too thick. \u00a0There is a little kick to it as well. \u00a0It&#8217;s a truly righteous BBQ sauce for the perfectly cooked ribs and chicken. \u00a0I could go on describing his BBQ sauce, but words do not do the sauce justice.<\/p>\n<p>Since I had not had the Jamaican jerk chicken yet, I opted for that. \u00a0And boy, lemme tell ya, Michael does not disappoint. \u00a0The cost of a 1\/4 chicken and 2 sides is $6.50 . \u00a0The chicken is rubbed down with a homemade Jamaican jerk rub. \u00a0It&#8217;s spicy and delicious, at first you don&#8217;t notice the heat you just get the flavor blasting your face.. and then the spicy catches up. \u00a0For my sides I went with the Macaroni &amp; Cheese and Potato Salad. \u00a0The mac and cheese is home made, real cheese in there. \u00a0For you vegetarians you could get his sides and be happy. \u00a0The potato salad was a new choice for me as well, not too much sauce on the potato salad, potatoes cooked perfectly and was a perfect balance to the spicy Jamaican jerk rub.<\/p>\n<p>I have had the chopped pork sandwich, the pork spare ribs, and bbq chicken. \u00a0None of the chicken is boneless, so if you get a chicken sandwich you will need to tear the chicken apart for it. \u00a0Everything is delicious. \u00a0The other sides I have had were the collared greens and his cooked cabbage. \u00a0The collared greens aren&#8217;t too oily or salty, the cooked cabbage is cooked with saut\u00e9ed garlic and onions.. mellow and full flavors. \u00a0If you&#8217;re on I-496, hop off on the S. Martin Luther King Jr exit and drop by Michael&#8217;s. \u00a0Your taste buds will thank you.<\/p>\n<p>[rating:5] Everything served is excellent, and is easily deserving of 5 stars. \u00a0Come enjoy some of the best BBQ in Lansing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael&#8217;s BBQ or Michael Southern Style Jack Daniel BBQ . \u00a0The name is quite a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,129,201,9,21,23,26,210,177,8,211],"tags":[244,245,251,248,358,359,367,246,247,142,242,249,250,141,140,243,357,368,252],"class_list":["post-688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-affordable","category-americana","category-awesomefqe","category-chicken","category-danreview","category-delicious","category-enjoyable","category-jamaican","category-lansing-michigan-restaurants-restaurants","category-pork","category-street-vendor","tag-bbq","tag-bbq-chicken","tag-bbq-sauce","tag-bbq-spare-ribs","tag-chicken","tag-delicious","tag-jamaican","tag-jamaican-jerk-rub","tag-jerk-rub","tag-lansing","tag-lansing-mi","tag-mac-and-cheese","tag-macaroni","tag-mi","tag-michigan","tag-mid-michigan","tag-pork","tag-street-vendor","tag-truck-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=688"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":706,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688\/revisions\/706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
