Simple Cajun smoked turkey cooked over real wood and charcoal — full of smoke, spice, and tips for a juicy bird every time.

• 1 whole turkey, thawed
• 1 bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
• 1 bottle Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning
• Meat Bag (optional)
• Water (enough to completely submerge turkey)
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
• 1 medium onion, quartered
• 1 head garlic, smashed
• Cooking spray or oil (for coating the skin)
• Chicken Rack (optional)

Instructions

1. Brine the Bird
   1. Start with a completely thawed turkey. In a large Meat Bag or food-safe container, mix Malcom’s Bird Brine with 1 gallon of water. (For turkeys 12-14lbs or less, use 1/2 bottle. For turkeys over 14lbs, use entire bottle).
   2. Submerge the turkey and add more water as needed to cover it completely. Tie the bag up tight and refrigerate for 24 hours.
   3. Brining helps the meat stay juicy and pull flavor deep inside — it’s one step you don’t want to skip.
2. Prep the Turkey
   1. After at least 24 hours, remove the turkey from the brine and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
   2. Stuff the cavity with celery, onion, and garlic.
   3. Tuck the wings and tie the legs so everything cooks evenly and the tips don’t burn.
3. Make the Injection (optional)
   1. Mix 1 stick of butter, 1 cup chicken broth and about 2 tablespoons Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning.
   2. Stir to combine. Inject the mixture into the breast, thighs, and wings, distributing evenly. Season the Skin
   3. Spray or rub the outside of the turkey with cooking spray or oil — this helps crisp the skin and gives the seasoning something to stick to.
   4. Generously coat the bird with Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning (or your fave turkey seasoning).
4. Smoke the Turkey
   1. Fire up your smoker for indirect cooking and add your favorite wood (hickory and pecan work great). Run the pit around 275°F. Place the turkey on the smoker breast side up.
5. Protect the Turkey
   1. When the skin has the color you want — that deep golden-brown Cajun look — spray the outside again with cooking spray and loosely tent with foil to prevent over-darkening.
   2. Continue cooking until the breast hits 160°F internal and the dark meat reaches about 175°F.
6. Rest and Serve
   1. Remove the turkey from the pit and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving. This lets the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.

• Don’t skip the dry step. The drier the skin, the better it browns and crisps up.
• Use a meat thermometer. It’s the only way to nail that perfect doneness.
• Color control: On a stick burner, smoke runs heavy — so tent the turkey once the color looks good. You want mahogany, not black.
• Flavor variations: Swap Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning for your favorite turkey seasoning — classic poultry blends, garlic and herb, or a buttery savory rub all work great with this same process.

Smoked tomahawk ribeye cooked start-to-finish on the pellet grill. No sear, just low heat, rich smoke, and juicy medium-rare steakhouse flavor every time.

• 1 Tomahawk Ribeye Steak (about 3 lbs)
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp Willingham’s W’ham Original Mild Seasoning
• 1–2 Tbsp Killer Hogs AP Seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic)
• 1–2 Tbsp Killer Hogs Steak Rub (for texture & color)
• ½ stick (4 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cut into pats

Instructions

1. Trim the Steak
   Lightly trim any big pockets of fat around the edges and clean up the bone for presentation.
2. Season Generously
   Rub the steak all over with Worcestershire sauce as a binder.
   Apply a medium coat of W’ham Original Mild Seasoning for color and base flavor.
   Add a layer of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning to build that salt, pepper, garlic profile.
   Finish with a layer of Killer Hogs Steak Rub for texture and crust.
3. Rest & Fire Up the Grill
   Let the steak sit out while you fire up your pellet grill to 250°F. This gives the seasonings time to melt in and lets the steak come up to room temperature before cooking.
4. Smoke the Tomahawk
   Place the steak on the pellet grill and insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part.
   Set your first target internal temp to 120°F.
   Once it hits 120, reset your probe to 128°F and monitor closely.
5. Rest with Butter
   Place pats of butter and a light sprinkle of Steak Rub on a platter.
   Remove the steak from the grill at 128°F and place it directly on butter.
   Tent loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
6. Slice & Serve
   Remove the steak from the bone, then slice across the grain. The melted butter and drippings combine to make a rich, flavorful sauce—spoon that over the slices before serving.

Slow-smoked wings get seared for crispy skin, then tossed in a tang-forward Mississippi white BBQ sauce—juicy, smoky, and done right.

• 1 family pack whole chicken wings (about 12–14 whole wings)
• Spicy ranch seasoning (generous coating)
• Killer Hogs AP Seasoning (generous coating)
• Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce (or your favorite white BBQ sauce)

Instructions

1. Season the Wings
   1. Trim and separate wings if desired, or leave them whole.
   2. Season all sides generously with spicy ranch seasoning and AP seasoning. Let them sit while you fire up the grill.
2. Set Up the Grill
   1. Prepare a 2-zone fire on your grill (one side hot, one side cool).
   2. Target grill temperature: 375–400°F.
   3. Pellet grill works too — just hold temps steady in that same range.
3. Smoke the Wings
   1. Place seasoned wings on the cool side of the grill.
   2. Close the lid and cook about 30 minutes.
   3. Flip the wings and cook another 15–20 minutes, until they reach 180–185°F internal.
4. Crisp Over the Hot Zone
   1. Working in batches, move wings directly over the hot side of the grill.
   2. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until skin is golden and lightly charred.
   3. Use the cool side as a holding zone if wings start cooking too fast.
   4. Final target internal temp: 195°F — this ensures fat is rendered and the meat pulls clean from the bone.
5. Sauce & Serve
   1. Remove wings from the grill and toss in Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce (or your favorite tangy white BBQ sauce).
   2. Serve hot and enjoy with extra sauce on the side.

This honey-balsamic salmon gets seared on a blazing hot grill for a perfect crust, then finished with a tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully in just minutes.

• 4 salmon fillets (6-8oz fillets)
• Olive oil
• King Craw Seasoning (or your favorite Cajun-style blend)

For the Honey Balsamic Glaze:

• 2 green onions (separate the whites and the greens), thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Salt & black pepper to taste (I used TX Brisket Rub)

Instructions

1. Preheat your pellet grill to 400°F.
   You want those high temps to help build a crust and lock in the moisture.
2. Prep the salmon:
   Lightly oil each fillet and season generously with King Craw seasoning on tops and sides. Let it sit while the grill heats up.
3. Make the glaze:
   In a small saucepan, sauté the green onion whites and garlic in a little oil until softened (1–2 minutes). Add the balsamic, honey, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy — about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
4. Grill the salmon:
   Place the fillets directly on the grates. Cook for about 13 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 125°F. The outside should have a nice crust at this point.
5. Glaze it:
   Brush the salmon with the honey balsamic glaze and let it cook another 1–2 minutes until the glaze sets and your salmon reaches 135°F internal.
6. Serve it up:
   Pull it off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pairs great with roasted veggies, rice, or even a fresh salad.

This Big Dill Smash Burger is my take on Sonic’s classic—crispy-edged beef patties, plenty of pickle flavor, and a tangy Dilly Ranch mayo that brings it all together.

For the Smash Burgers:

• 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef (roll into 3oz balls)
• Killer Hogs Steak Rub (or your favorite burger seasoning)
• Slices of American cheese
• Grilling oil
• Hamburger buns
• Shredded lettuce
• Thick-cut dill pickles (we used Grillo’s Classic Dill Pickle Chips)
• Fried pickle chips (we used Fresh Gourmet Crispy Dillies)

For the Dilly Ranch Mayo:

• 1 cup Blue Plate mayo
• 3 tsp Ranch seasoning (about ½ a packet)
• 1–2 tsp fresh chopped dill
• 2 Tbsp dill pickle juice (from the pickle chip jar)

Instructions

1. Make the Dilly Ranch Mayo
   1. Mix mayo, Ranch seasoning, fresh dill, and pickle juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and let chill in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together.
2. Prep the Beef
   1. Form the ground beef into 3oz balls. Don’t pack them tight—keep them loose for a better smash.
3. Smash and Sear
   1. Heat a flat-top griddle or cast iron over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface.
   2. Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and let them sit for about 1 minute—just long enough to form a light crust.
   3. Flip the balls over and smash them hard with a spatula or burger press.
   4. Season with Killer Hogs Steak Rub.
   5. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip again.
   6. Season the other side, add a slice of American cheese, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
4. Build the Stack
   1. Stack two patties for each burger.
5. Toast the Buns
   1. Place your buns cut-side-down on the griddle for about 30 seconds until toasted and golden.
6. Assemble the Burger
   1. Bottom bun → double smash patties – Top with fried pickle chips – Add shredded lettuce and thick-cut pickles – Spread Dilly Ranch Mayo on the top bun – Close it up and serve

Cook tri-tip Santa Maria-style right over the coals for big flavor and a smoky crust. This open-fire tri-tip recipe keeps it simple—just bold seasoning, live fire, and a juicy medium-rare finish.

• 1 whole Tri-Tip roast (untrimmed)
• Killer Hogs TX Brisket Rub (or salt and coarse black pepper)

Instructions

1. Don’t Trim a Thing
   Leave all the fat and sinew on that big, beautiful tri-tip. That’s how Mr. Al Frugoni—the king of live fire—does it, and we’re sticking to it.
2. Season Heavy
   Hit it generously with TX Brisket Rub (or your favorite salt & pepper blend). Don’t be shy—we want a big crust.
3. Build the Fire
   Start a fire using wood splits and lump charcoal. Once you’ve got a solid coal bed, rake the coals under your cooking grate and let it heat up.
4. Sear Over High Heat
   Place the tri-tip directly over the hot coals and press it into the grate for good contact. Flip every 3–4 minutes to build a deep sear and bark on both sides.
5. Finish Over Medium Heat
   Once seared, move it a bit higher above the coals or to indirect heat. Keep flipping every few minutes until the internal temp hits 125–130°F for medium-rare.
6. Rest and Slice
   Let it rest for 20 minutes. Then slice it against the grain—split it down the middle crook first, since the grain runs different ways.

• 1 bottle Walkerswood Jerk Marinade
• 1 tablespoon Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk Seasoning
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped (green parts for marinade, white parts for sauce)
• 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• 4 oz pineapple juice

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce
• 4–5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk Seasoning
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• Juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:

• Cut the whole chicken into quarters, separating white and dark meat. Score the chicken breasts with shallow slits to help with even cooking and better flavor absorption.
• Place the chicken quarters in a large ziplock bag. Pour in the jerk marinade and add Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk seasoning.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining marinade ingredients, then pour into the ziplock bag.
• Squeeze out excess air, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).

2. Prepare the Grill:

• Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly season with a little more Jerk seasoning.
• Set up a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking at 350°F. (I used my Primo ceramic grill, but any grill works.)

3. Cook the Chicken:

• Place the chicken on the indirect side of the grill. Cook for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for white meat and 175°F for dark meat.

4. Make the Jerk Dipping Sauce:

• Place a heavy-bottomed pot directly over the hot coals.
• Add butter, white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
• Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and pour into a small dish to cool.

5. Char & Serve:

• Move the chicken quarters to the direct heat side of the grill.
• Sear for 1-2 minutes per side, just until you get that perfect jerk char.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve hot with the jerk dipping sauce on the side.

A little sweet… a little savory… and a kick of spice. These Hot Honey ribs are not only beautiful, they are down-right delicious1

• 3 slabs St. Louis Spare Ribs
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub

For the Rib Wrap:

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 10oz apple juice
• 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
• 3 sticks salted butter (split in half lengthwise)

For the Rib Glaze:

• 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
• 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey

Instructions

1. Trim ribs and remove membrane. Apply light coat of hot sauce for a binder and season well with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
2. Prepare pit for smoking at 275°F using hickory wood for smoke flavor. I used my Outlaw stick burner pit but any smoker/indirect grilll will work just keep the temp steady at 275°F.
3. Place the ribs on the pit and smoke for 2 hours. Spritz with water if the outside starts to look dry after an hour in the smoke.
4. Make the rib wrap liquid – combine brown sugar, apple juice, hot honey, and vinegar sauce in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and allow to cool at room temp.
5. To wrap the ribs remove each slab from the pit; use a double layer of aluminum foil; place the ribs meat side down on the foil, add 1/2 cup of wrap liquid to each slab; place 1 stick of the butter over the top; and close the foil around the ribs.
6. Place the ribs back on the pit and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Internal temp should be around 202-205°F.
7. Rest the ribs in a dry cooler for 1 hour before glazing.
8. To glaze: place each rack on a foil covered raised cooling rack meat side down; dust with a little Hot Rub and place back on the pit for 5 minutes; brush with The BBQ Sauce and cook for 7 additional minutes. Flip the ribs over and dust the meat side with Hot Rub and return to the pit for 5 minutes. Brush the meat side with The BBQ Sauce and drizzle with Hot Honey; blend the honey in with the bbq sauce and return to the pit for 7 additional minutes to set.
9. Cut the slabs into individual bone pieces and serve.

This method cooks some FIRE ribs really fast. We use the charcoal and the grill to impart some serious flavor – and we baste the ribs the entire cook so they come out juicy, tender and oh so delicious!

• 2 slabs St. Louis Cut Spare Ribs
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
• 28oz apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup fine sea salt (feel free to add less salt to suite your taste)
• 1/4 cup ground cayenne pepper
• juice from one lemon

Instructions

1. Trim the excess fat and remove the membrane from each slab of ribs.
2. Season the ribs on both sides with a light coat of Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
3. Prepare a charcoal grill for 2 zone cooking at 300°F.
4. Place the ribs over the direct heat side of the grill – the cool zone is just in case you need to get them away from the fire. These ribs cook over the direct heat side the entire cook.
5. Combine the vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a quart mason jar. Shake it well.
6. Flip the ribs every ten minutes keeping the grilll temperature steady at 300°F.
7. Once the outside begins to dry out start mopping with the basting liquid using a bbq mop.
8.  Continue to flip and mop until the internal temperature reaches 198-200°F.
9. Move the ribs over to the indirect heat side for 5-10 minutes.
10. Cut the ribs into individual bone pieces and serve with additional mopping sauce for dabbing.

Grilled Beef Flaken Ribs – Flaken Ribs have a rich, beef flavor – and when you take the time to marinade them and then chargrill them directly over hot coals, you get a delicious bite of beefy goodness!

• 4lbs flanken-cut beef ribs
• 1 bunch green onions – chopped divide the green and white parts
• 2 heaping teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Killer Hogs TX Rub

Instructions

1. Place the white parts of the onion in a mixing bowl and add: minced garlic, ginger, soy, worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, hoisin, and TX. Stir to combine.
2. Add the beef flanken cut ribs to a large ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Squeeze the air out of the bag and gently toss the ribs around so everything is coated in the marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
3. Prepare a grill for 2 zone cooking – hot side and cool side. Grill the ribs over the direct heat zone (hot side) of the grill. Work in batches so the grill isn’t over crowded. Cook the ribs on each side until they begin to char about 3-4 minutes each side. Then move them over to the cool zone until all of the ribs are char-grilled.
4. Place the ribs on a foil lined baking sheet, wrap the foil around the top to seal off the heat, and rest the ribs for 20-30 minutes.
5. To serve place the ribs on a large cutting board or platter and top with the green tops of the onions.

Whole Beef Tenderloin trimmed into Filet Mignon Steaks and cooked with a reverse-seared – then basted with a Garlic Butter while they get flame-kissed over open flames

• 5 – 12oz Beef Tenderloin Filets (AKA – Filet Mignon Steaks)
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 cup Killer Hogs TX Brisket Rub
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 8 cloves garlic minced
• 1 shallot minced
• 2 sticks salted butter
• 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Drizzle the outside of each steak with worcestershire sauce and season heavily with TX Rub (coarse salt and black pepper can substitute).
2. Set up a grill for 2 zone cooking – hot and cool side.  I used my primo ceramic grill running Royal Oak Lump charcoal but any grill will work.
3. Keep the grill between 275-300°F for the first stage of the reverse sear. Place a probe thermometer in the center of one of the filets and set each steak on the cool side of the grill to start away from the direct fire.
4. Once the internal temperature reaches 115°F – about 25 minutes; remove the steaks from the grill and place on a foil lined sheet pan. Rest the steaks for about 15-20 minutes. You will notice the temp continues to climb but it will eventually stop and start to drop. This is where you want to do the sear stage.
5. While the filets are resting – add a drizzle of olive oil to an iron skillet. Add the garlic and shallot and saute until soft – season with a little TX rub for flavor.
6. Move the skillet off the direct heat and add the butter. Stir until the butter melts about 2 minutes and add the chopped parsley.
7. Brush each filet with the butter mixture and place over the direct heat (Fire side) of the grill for 1 minute on each side.  Continue brushing with butter at this point and only cook until a char starts to form.  It should take about 1-2 minutes total each side.  It is important to not walk away and be extremely careful at this point because the fire will be rolling.
8. Remove the steaks from the grill once seared and brush with additional garlic butter.  Rest the steaks for 5 minutes and serve.

Baby Back ribs seasoned simply and cooked on a propane grill (with a smoke bomb for added flavor). These ribs turned out juicy, tender and you can really taste the pork!

• 2 racks of loin back ribs – trimmed and silver skin removed
• 2–3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub

For the wrap:

• 1/2 cup Killer Hogs Zero Sauce
• 1/4 cup Apple Juice

Instructions

1. Apply a thin line of mustard to each rack of ribs and season with the AP Seasoning and The BBQ Rub on all sides.
2. Fire up a gas grill adjusting the burners so the grill temperature is 250-275 degrees. Make a smoke bomb by adding wood chips to a small pan, cover it with foil, and poke holes in the foil. Place the pan to one side of the grill centered over a burner.
3. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for one hour, flip the ribs over for even grilling and continue to cook for another hour.
4. Wrap the ribs in a double layer of aluminum foil – add a little extra dry rub, zero sauce, and a splash of apple juice to the wrap.
5. Return the ribs to the grill and cook meat side down until the internal temperature reaches at least 202 degrees between the bones. It should take about an hour.
6. Carefully take the ribs out of the wrap and place back on the cooking grate. Season with additional dry rub. Cook for 30 additional minutes to set the bark at this point you can sauce the ribs for a “wet style” or serve them dry.

Grilled & Sauced BBQ Chicken – I start with a whole, cut-up chicken  (2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 breasts) and then brined it in a BBQ Brine for 2 hours, then seasoned with BBQ Rub and grilled. At the end, each piece of chicken is glazed with a slightly spicy bbq sauce and allow to caramelize and char a little. The final product is juicy, tangy, sweet and saucy Old School BBQ Chicken.

• 8pc chicken skin on, bone in
• 2 cups water
• 1 bottle Wickers BBQ Marinade
• 1 lemon sliced
• 1/4 cup Malcom’s Bird Brine
• 1/2 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub (divide into 2 portions)
• 1 cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
• 1 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
• 2oz Killer Hogs Hot Sauce

Instructions

1. Place the chicken pieces in a large zip top bag and pour in the Wickers marinade.  Add 1/4 cup Bird Brine and 1/4 cup of Hot Rub to the water and stir well.  Pour this mixture over the chicken and squeeze the lemon slices then drop in the bag.  Make sure all pieces of chicken are covered and close the bag squeezing as much air out as possible. Place bag in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours at least.
2. Remove the chicken pieces from the brine and place on a raised wire rack to air dry for 30 minutes.  Season with Hot Rub on all sides.
3. Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect cooking using a 2 zone method – Hot side and Cool side.  Adjust the air vents so the grill temperature reaches 350 degrees.
4. Place the chicken on the cool side of the grill skin side up until the internal temperature reaches 150-155 degrees.
5. Combine the bbq sauce, vinegar sauce, and hot sauce in a small container.  Brush the skin side with the sauce and cook for 10 minutes. Flip each piece over and brush sauce over the back side and cook for 10 minutes.
6. Right at the very end move each piece of chicken over to the direct heat side of the grill and glaze on both sides.  Don’t walk away because it can burn really quick.  The breast should reach an internal temperature of 165 and the dark meat should go to at least 175.
