Have you ever wanted to add a bold new take on a traditional favorite? If so, crank things up a bit with this sauce. Here you’ll find some of my favorite suggestions including a brief description of each recipe, as well as a link to each one.


Smoked Turkey Sliders

These smoked turkey and Havarti sliders are a dreamy combination of flavors and textures. Sweet Hawaiian rolls are topped with tender and smoky turkey breast, melty Havarti cheese, and a Zesty Gold and butter sauce. Every bite of these turkey sliders is better than the last.

Hawaiian roll turkey sliders are the perfect recipe to add to your menu this week. Not only are they easy to make, but they’re extremely kid-friendly and will feed your entire family. It’s like a perfect little hot meat and cheese sandwich (with some added flavor to keep the adults interested too).

Oh, and the homemade crunchy seasoning blend that crowns these mini sammies? You’ll have to fight the urge to eat the whole pan yourself. Better make a double batch.


Smoked Egg Salad

This Smoked Egg Salad is bursting with flavor. Make it ahead of time to serve as a side or yummy sandwich filler at your next outdoor event.

I’m always looking for ways to put a new twist on classic dishes, and this Smoked Egg Salad does just that. While it still has all the richness of traditional egg salad, and the crunch of chopped dill pickle, by smoking the eggs first, you get an egg salad with a deep smoky flavor. The creamy mayo gets a boost or flavor from my Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce, while select herbs and spices add the finishing touches. What you get is an egg salad that tastes nostalgic and brand new all at once. Whether you serve it as a salad to complement those heavy meats, or you want to whip up some tasty sandwiches, this Smoked Egg Salad has you covered. So fire up the smoker, grab your egg carton, and let’s get started.


Smoked Hot Dogs

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried these smoked hot dogs. They add a little something extra to the traditional hot dog (cough, cough killer smoke flavor!) that takes these dogs all the way up to a 10/10!

You can indeed smoke hot dogs, and they turn out completely delicious. In fact, I’ve found that they add a little somethin’ somethin’ to that ol’ hot dog that you just can’t get on the grill alone.

The process is fairly simple. All you need to do to make smoked hot dogs is to score them, add some seasoning, and stick them in the smoke. When they’re done, top them with a drizzle of my Zesty Gold BBQ sauce and all of your favorite fixins, then enjoy! I can’t wait for you to try these dogs.


Smoked Chicken Salad

My Smoked Chicken Salad is loaded with flavor. There’s tender, smoky chicken, tangy dressing, fresh herbs, sweet grapes, and pecans for that coveted crunch. Serve it on flaky croissants for killer sandwiches your family will love. You’ll want to eat it up before you get a chance to serve it. Resist that urge, though.

When your friends and family get a taste of this delicious salad, they’ll be begging for more. Once your chicken is smoked, you’re just a few steps away from amazing sandwiches with this easy chicken salad recipe. Let’s get started.


Hey Grill Hey Double Smoked Ham Kit

When you want an all-in-one kit to bring incredible flavor to your hams, ribs, and so much more, pick yourself up my Double Smoked Ham Kit.

If you love ham as much as I do, but you want something more than the run-of-the-mill, honey-baked variety, then you have to try using my Double Smoked Ham Kit. With my Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce, Sugar & Spice Rub, and Spiced Citrus Glaze, this kit is great for both spiral and pulled ham alike. What you might not know is this kit is also an awesome addition to all kinds of different meats.

My award-winning Zesty Gold BBQ Sauce takes a traditional mustard sauce and amps the flavor up to 11. This sweet, tangy, mustard-based sauce brings an extra zip with apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. If you’re looking for a binder for your rubs that adds a rich depth of flavor without overpowering them, this is the sauce for you. It’s also great as a bold replacement for traditional mustard. It comes in the kit, but you can also grab some separately here, or make your own at home following this recipe.
