Blackened Chicken

Blackening isn’t about burning the chicken surface to a crisp, but rather about creating a charred crust of spices. We coat chicken with butter, and as it heats up it “glues” the spice crust to the chicken and help keep it moist inside—even though you’re cooking it over a very high heat.

Boiled Peanuts

Boiled peanuts are a traditional southern snack food found throughout North and South Carolina as well as other states across the south. They're soft and salty, and nothing like a roasted peanut. The best ones can be found at roadside stands, where they've been bubbling away for hours in huge stockpots. This is our version for making them at home.

Cajun Fried Okra

A Southern BBQ menu wouldn't be complete without a side of fried okra. These addictive bites were gobbled up quickly by tasters in our test kitchen. They have a mild kick of heat from both our Cajun seasoning and Cajun hot sauce. They also have a perfectly crunchy cornmeal coating, which makes them gluten-free too!
