Pork marinade & injection
Having won pork when cooking at the Jack Daniels World Championship, and American Royal Invitational, among countless other awards – this marinade drove the flavor, and texture of our pork. It’s very versatile as an injection in large roasts or a marinade for ribs, chops, shrimp or chicken. This marinade has been used to win “Best Hot Wing” awards across the country. Use it to up your game at home or on the bbq circuit!
BBQ marinade
This versatile marinade is our “go to” flavor that works well with anything: meats, vegetables, seafood, grilled kabobs, speidini, planked salmon, etc… It’s served us best as the secret to our competition-winning chicken which has won numerous awards, including a perfect score in KCBS Chicken. At the same time, it also delivered a perfect KCBS rib score. Put it on anything and wait for the flavor explosion.
Bourbon infused BBQ Sauce
Our Kansas City Bootleg sauce is not an afterthought. Adding a sauce should bring a complementary flavor that enhances the meat. Knowing folks eat with their eyes first, we want our sauce to elevate the meal’s appearance. Our KC Bootleg will make your meat glisten, and deepen the colors your smoker produces while bringing all the flavors together in a beautifully-cooked masterpiece.
