Family chili recipes usually get resurrected around this time of year. Nothing provides warmth on cool Autumn evenings like a bubbly stock pot with your grandparents’ favorite ingredients. I’ll never forget the day I stumbled upon how a little homemade BBQ sauce could transform my mother’s prized beef chili into something our family had yet to discover. I had about 2 tablespoons of sauce left in the corner of a mason jar and said “hey, why not?” Every year since, I make sure to mix in that special little ingredient and let everyone else try something brand new… after they taste the original, of course. -GoldenBlendsBBQ

Have you mastered the art of beautifying your backyard grillout with intersecting sear marks? Maybe thrown on a few sprigs of your favorite spice, using the flame to infuse that spice even more robustly? Once your flame is tame, give the fresh basted portions a good 4-5 minutes on their first side and be delighted once you flip them!

You just cant go wrong with most primitive style of cooking. These guys took around 4 hours on the spit. Hickory, oak, and cherrywood provided the flame…You wanna talk about some fall-off-the-bone chicken? Well this is it. My father in-law built the stone pit AFTER the fire had started rolling… talk about being men! Ping-pong and good conversation made time fly right by. We sliced the breasts and sopped up some of our newest blend “Dry County Dip” for a delicious vinegar and pepper taste. Nothing like research and development! Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.
If you want some literature giving you a serious in-depth look at the BBQ regions of the U.S., look no further than this months 60+ pages of all things ‘Que in “Saveur” magazine.
