A while back, I was offered some samples of a “unique BBQ sauce and marinade” called Wild & Mild. I love sauces, and I love barbecueing, so I of course, agreed to samples.
After the box of sauces hung in limbo due to the US Postal Service (don’t get me started) they finally arrived at our door. I opened the box to a lovely handwritten note from Jerrod of the Wild & Mild company with suggestions of recipes, and other uses.
I went a little un-creative with it and marinated the chicken in the mild blend and then pan-cooked it for a quick dinner for Adam, my friend Kristin, and myself.
I was so pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the sauce! It’s highly spiced with black pepper and garlic, with a sweet start and a spicy finish. I can’t wait to try the “Wild” version of the sauce! I also CANNOT wait to marinate meat for longer and then grill it outside, I have a feeling it will be terrific.
Adam is also a huge fan, and has been eagerly waiting for me to cook something with this sauce since he cracked it open the day it arrived. The best part? The nutritional info. While it gives a similar kick as traditional BBQ sauce, it has less than half the calories of regular BBQ sauce with a more complex flavor.
The better news? There’s a two pack of this great sauce for sale on my OpenSky shop! You’ve got to try it… it would be fabulous on tofu too… hmmm… that’s an idea…
Happy Friday!!! Have a great weekend!

That sauce sounds divine! I love a good sauce to marinate meats in… I need to try my hand at making some home made bbq sauce at some point

I would definitely want to try the “Wild” version – I’m a fan of all things spicy! Barbecue sauce-marinated meat is soooo beautifully flavourful. I’ve heard about this brand before, and people seem to like it!

I love sauces too! My friends always make fun of me because I’m get really obsessed about the sauces that are served with meals. Everyone will be talking about how great the steak was and I will go off and say “yeah the steak was good but the sauce was A-mazing!”.
I think my fridge is packed with at least 20 different sauces as I type this:)
I love a good BBQ sauce, I’ll have to check it out. I’d definitely be more for the WILD one, but mild has it’s place too.
