Hey Grill Hey Sweet Heat BBQ Glaze

When your meats need bold, spicy flavor, reach for a bottle of my Sweet Heat Glaze. This glaze is a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a deep, smoky heat. I’m not kidding when I say it transforms the flavor of chicken and other meats. The secret is the quality ingredients. Aged cayenne pepper and brown sugar work together to create a uniquely delicious combination. It doesn’t stop there, though. This bold, sassy glaze also offers the ability to give your meats some mouthwatering textures. Whether you like a glossy, finger-licking meat, or a nice bark, this guy can do it.

Let me walk you through what makes this glaze so irresistibly delicious, share some classic and creative ways to use it, and how it can help you become a backyard BBQ hero.

Flavor Profile: What’s Inside

This thick and sticky Sweet Heat Glaze is loaded with quality ingredients to enhance both the flavor and textures of your smoky meats. The aged cayenne and red peppers give all your BBQ a kick of heat and a deep, smoky flavor you won’t find anywhere else. The brown sugar adds to the already sweet flavor of your chicken wings, drumsticks, and thighs. When the heat from your grill hits that brown sugar, you get a yummy, caramelized exterior. This glossy sauce works wonders on all your favorite chicken cuts, and more.

My first priority here at Hey Grill Hey is helping you feel confident making delicious BBQ for the people you love. When I make anything, from products to recipes, quality comes first, and this Sweet Heat Glaze is no exception. You won’t find any artificial ingredients or liquid smoke. The smoky flavor is real, and it’s spectacular. Bottom line, you can sleep comfortably (and full of BBQ) knowing you can trust the food you feed your family.

The Perfect Glaze for Chicken

This Sweet Heat Glaze is the perfect way to take your BBQ chicken to flavorful new places. It enhances the natural sweetness of your chicken while infusing it with some deep, spicy flavor. Whether you’re smoking, grilling, or even baking your chicken, this luscious glaze will give it new life. From breasts to wings, here are some of my favorite recipes to use with your glaze:

How to Use Sweet Heat Glaze

While this Sweet Heat Glaze absolutely lives up to its name, you can use it to give your smoky meats all kinds of flavor profiles. If you’re looking for a real pop of heat, add the glaze after cooking. The less time your glaze spends over direct heat, the more robust the spice will be. If you want the sticky-sweet notes, but want to tame the flame a bit, add during the cooking process. As the sauce breaks down, the heat level will mellow a bit.

When you decide to utilize this bold, zesty glaze in the process also affects the finish of your BBQ goods. Glazing for the final sear on some ribs, or tossing some wings hot off the grill, you’re going to get a glossy, saucy, gorgeous finish. The longer your glaze sits over heat, the stickier, tackier, and more caramelized it gets. So, whatever level of heat or finish you’re looking for, you can get it with some Sweet Heat.

Pairing Suggestions

While this sweet, smoky glaze goes great with all your Rub Recipes, blending it with my Sweet Rub is a match made in heaven. This glaze amplifies the natural sweetness of your chicken and ribs while balancing it all out with some serious cayenne heat. The brown-sugar base of the rub helps bring out even more sweet, meat flavor. Plus, the brown sugar also helps that crispy, caramelized skin or bark develop to a whole new level. This glaze already has everything you need for a full flavor experience, but you can add it to any rub or seasoning you love.
