4. Spicy Shark Wings - @bigtastybbqnh

"Who doesn't love a good batch of chicken wings! For me, the perfect wings have a touch of smoke, a bit of char and crispy skin, and the perfect blend of sweet and heat.

These wings were rubbed using @caribeque Honey Heat, then grilled using some apple wood for that hint of smoke. Before taking them off the grill, I hit them with some @thespicyshark Wing Sauce and let that caramelize a bit.

This Spicy Shark Wing Sauce is the type of great products you get from @mantry. They scour the country to find the finest artisan products to include in their shipments."

6. Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers - @meatstickbbq

"Jalapeños were cut in half / de-seeded, filled with cream cheese & some “Fajita-ish” from @dizzypigbbq. I next wrapped in bacon, dipped in an egg wash & dredged with @porkpanko brought to me by the @mantry. Grilled within my @pitbarrel until the panko & bacon was crispy. This was so good!!!"

7. Homemade Chicken Tenders With Truffle Hot Sauce @big_greenmachine

These Wings were outright insanely good! Chicken Wings from Crowd Cow. I dipped them in some egg wash mixed with Sriracha & then dredged in a combination of Pork Panko & Thai Lime Sriracha Rub by Spiceology. Then I taught them in 'Nade Thai Inspired Sauce & Marinade. Flavor was amazing

Hit with some Duck Fat and then threw them in the Weber Performer over Jealous Devil Charcoal in my Vortex."
