Game-Winning Tailgate BBQ Recipes
So you’ve loaded up the grill or smoker and plan to tailgate the traditional way. Well, forget the burgers, as these smokin’ recipes will get your team fired up. They’re easy, delicious and Sonny’s Pitmaster-approved. Ready to fuel your crew? Hit the field. Let’s go for two.
BBQ Chicken Lollipops
These mouthwaterin’ morsels are chicken drumsticks marinated and dry-rubbed before they’re smoked and basted in butter. These need big bites, but they’re game-day ready.
Loaded Hot Dog
What’s better than a bacon-wrapped hot dog? To take this play to the next level, each one is topped with cheese, caramelized vegetables and Sonny’s Smokin BBQ Sauce.
Tailgate BBQ: Sonny’s Football Party Food for Fans
Want that game-winning flavor without having to do all the work? We’re ready to play. If you’re lookin’ for just enough for two, we’ve got multiple options for you, like our 2 Sandwich Pack. With this one, you get to pick two BBQ Sandwiches, (like our famous Pulled Pork and Smoked Turkey), plus two pint-size sidekicks. Each one of those equals two regular sides. Basically, you’re getting four sides worth in this package.
