Bar-B-Q Sauce l Chicken Sauce l Spiedie Marinade

Buffalo Wing Sauces l Grillin' Rub l Meat Seasoning

Bar-B-Q Sauce:
Marinating	Marinate Rib-Eye steaks (suggested) or any other cut of steak to to get a rich and distinct flavor of our Bar-B-Q Sauce. Marinate and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days (2 days suggested) in a zip lock bag. Pull the steaks out of the refrigerator a half hour before grilling and let sit at room temperature. Be sure to discard the marinade and do not reuse.
Ingredient	Add our Bar-B-Q Sauce to ground beef (or turkey) before forming into burgers or meatloaf.
	You can also use our Bar-B-Q Sauce as a base in soups, stews and chili.
	Add our Bar-B-Q Sauce to enhance the flavor of Baked Beans right before cooking. You can even dab a little bit of our Bar-B-Q Sauce to salads such as potato and macaroni!
Baste	Wrap raw, peeled and devained shrimp (size 21/25 suggested) or fresh sea scallops in bacon, secure with a toothpick and grill or bake until almost done. Once almost done, baste generously with our Bar-B-Q Sauce for approximately 5 - 7 minutes turning often. Remove the toothpicks and enjoy!
	Shake our Grillin' Rub or Meat Seasoning on pork chops or pork tenderloins and place on a char broiler turning every few minutes until about 5 minutes left until done. Generously baste the pork each time you turn the pork with our Bar-B-Q Sauce. Once beginning to baste, turn often to prevent charring.
Dipping	Something that the majority of us do is dip nearly everything we eat in our Bar-B-Q sauce. Try dipping french-fries, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, lamb and ham. Take any type of sandwich and dip it in the sauce as you eat it.
	For maximum flavor be sure to heat the sauce up before you dip!



Chicken Sauce:
Marinating	You can marinate any type of meat, however, do not marinate the meat for more than a few hours. Some of our favorites are marinating venison and of course chicken.
Basting	If you have a rotisserie on your char broiler or charcoal grill, place a whole chicken (approximately 3-5 pounds) on the rotisserie spit and baste every 7 to 10 minutes. Be sure to use an indirect heat method when using the grill. You can also get similar results in your oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Baste the chicken every 10 minutes until done. With all applications, do not use a brush when basting, it will scrape the spices right off the skin. A shaker bottle (for example Italian dressing bottle) or turkey baster works best.
Dipping	A great dipping sauce for chicken. Be sure to only dip a little because a little goes a long way.



Spiedie Marinade:
Marinating (meat)	Take two pounds of your favorite meat and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Marinate the meat for at least 1 day, however, two to three days is recommended. Shake or stir half way through the marinating process for maximum flavor. For best results, cook the spiedies on a char broiler and eat as is or place them on a buttered sub roll or hamburger roll.
	You can marinate whole steaks in our Spiedie Marinade, however, the smaller the size of the meat, the better it will take on the marinade. With whole steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, etc, marinate for at least 2 days.
Marinating (shrimp)	Marinate raw, peeled and deveined shrimp in the Spiedie Marinade being sure that the shrimp is completely covered for a minimum of 6 hours. Barbecue the shrimp on a gas or charcoal grill until done. Discard the used marinade.



Buffalo Wing Sauces:
	After cooking (see methods below) the chicken wings, let stand for a minute or two and then shake them in our hot, medium or mild sauce in a large bowl. Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing and celery.

Frying	Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Carefully place wings in oil and fry for approximately 10 - 12 minutes depending on the size of the wings.
Grilling (gas)	Preheat grill on high. While the grill is heating up, lightly season the chicken wings with our Grillin' Rub or Meat Seasoning. Turn grill down to medium or medium/high and place the wings on the grates. Turn wings often and cook until done, approximately 25 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the wings.
Grilling (charcoal)	Ignite the charcoal as normal. While the charcoal is catching, lightly season the chicken wings with our Grillin' Rub or Meat Seasoning. Once the charcoal has caught, place it on one side of the grill (indirect grilling method), replace the cooking grates and place the wings on the grates opposite side of the charcoal. Keep covered and turn wings often, cooking until done, approximately 25 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the wings.
Baking	Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. While oven is preheating, lightly season the chicken wings with our Grillin' Rub or Meat Seasoning. Once the oven is ready, place the chicken wings on a flat baking sheet tray cooking until done and crispy, approximately 45 minutes.

Dipping	Our Buffalo Wing Sauces are excellent for dipping any food, especially fries, mozzarella sticks, breaded mushrooms, onion rings and chicken!

Sandwiches	Also great for shaking breaded chicken tenders, breaded chicken breasts or seasoned chicken tenders or chicken breasts and making a sandwich. Add lettuce, blue cheese or ranch and you'll have a buffalo chicken sandwich!

Condiment	Pour on burgers, fajitas, tacos, burritos or any of your favorite foods. It is a spice step up from using ketchup, mustard or any other condiment.



Grillin' Rub:
	10 - 15 minutes before grilling, shake our Grillin' Rub on steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, fish filets, vegetables or any thing that you enjoy grilling.

	Our Grillin' Rub is not only great with grilling, but cooking in the oven or on the stove top too.



Meat Seasoning:
	Even though it is titled a meat seasoning, it can be used on virtually everything.
Dry rub	Shake our seasoning on raw beef or pork spare ribs. Gently rub the seasoning. Slowly cook ribs over a low heat on your grill and baste with our own Bar-B-Q Sauce every time you turn them.
	Sprinkle the Meat Seasoning on raw meat products 10 minutes before you grill them. Best on hamburgers, steaks, chicken and pork chops.
	In addition to seasoning meats, you can also spice up your vegetables, french-fries, pasta sauce, rice recipes, and much more.
