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.

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.

This spicy jerk chicken recipe is smoky, juicy, and packed with bold Caribbean flavors! Whether you’re grilling or smoking, I’ll show you how to make the BEST jerk chicken with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness.

For the Chicken & Marinade:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into quarters
• 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
• 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Jerk Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 stick butter
• White parts of the green onion, finely chopped
• 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.

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.

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.
