Creating the Perfect Menu for a BBQ Chicken Slider Show!

[ChefMommyof3Boys]

I'm doing a show and the host wants to do shredded bbq chicken sliders and she wants to use one of our bbq sauces. I have tried the Carolina Mustard but not the others. What is your favorite? I need to order it today to get it here before her show. She also wants to have an alcoholic beverage at the show, but what goes with bbq chicken sliders?! haha!

Personally, I absolutely hate the Beer BBQ sauce. I am gagging just thinking about it. :yuck:

I was leary to try the others, but the other night we had some plain pulled pork that we defrosted and I tried the Cherry Chipotle BBQ sauce on it. It was pretty good. I didn't go overboard with the sauce, though. It had a nice tang to it. So, I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Haven't tried the others, yet.

Oh, beverage wise - always BEER for us with BBQ. But I am sure you are looking for a PC choice!

The Beer BBQ sauce is ok. The Korean and the Cherry Chipolte are both very good. I am not a mustard fan so the Carolina sauce is out for me.Or make your own (my favorite):1 cup catsup
2 tsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp PC Smokey BBQ Rub
1/4 cup packed brown sugarCombine and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. If there is any left over it keeps well in the refrigerator.

The Beer and Carolina Mustards are not my favorites. The Chipotle Cherry was a big hit with my customers when it first came out. It's a little too spicy for me, but I do like the flavor. My favorite is the Korean, but it doesn't really taste anything like BBQ sauce. I use it with asian stir-fry, pot-stickers, egg rolls, etc as a dipping sauce and I love it with those. I would not use it as an actual BBQ sauce.

I second the sauce using the BBQ rub. I think it would probably be good with the Smokey Applewood rub too.

If you want to use a PC Itty Bitty Bevs for the alcoholic drink, the Cosmo is good. Not sure it goes with BBQ, but it's tasty. I don't like it without the vodka -- too sweet. It is really good if you add a little wedge of lime squeezed into each glass too. Gives it more depth of flavor. I haven't tried the Appletini yet. The Margarita is ok. I'm not a fan of the Cucumber Mojito myself.

If you're ok doing a non-PC drink, Margarita Punch is good and might go with BBQ. It's a 12-oz can each of frozen OJ, limeade and lemonade mixed with 3 liters of Sprite/7-up instead of water. It fills the Family Quick-Stir pitcher to the top (you have to blend slowly or the Sprite bubbles and overflows). Tequila can be added to each glass to taste. Most of the guests at my show just drink it without the alcohol and like that they have the option of alcohol or not. The other punch recipe that I love is the Cran-Raspberry Fizz from one of the old Season's Best (you should be able to find a recipe on CC). It's made in the QS pitcher as well and you can add vodka to it or just to each glass. Both of these taste just wonderful with or without alcohol.

Good luck. I'm hungry just thinking about all of it!

I like the one that Beth suggested....it's really good except I go lighter on the rub amount. I love the Korean one and the Cherry Chipotle was too spice and I like spicier foods.

Korean or homemade with our PC Smoky BBQ Rub. Haven't tried the Cherry Chipotle, but sounds like I need to get some soon.

So interesting reading all these posts...no one likes the beer yet I use it in my baked beans and in Aloha Pizza and a few other things and this is my #1 seller. How funny is that? I think that we sell what we like the most...Maybe it is a regional thing, but beer is popular here!

Thanks so much for these! They will be terrific once grilling season rolls back around for shows. However, since we grill at the house all the time, we'll be trying them out soon. Thanks, again!
