"The response to our Frank's RedHot® Spicy Gummy Bears proved that consumers are ready and excited for swicy done right. With Cholula Chamoy, we're leaning even further into flavour mashups that feel authentic, craveable, and completely differentiated in the candy aisle."

Fieri's upbringing involved a lot of macrobiotics, leading him to envy the meals his friends enjoyed, particularly meatloaf, which he had never experienced.

Unfortunately, though, it can take a long time to cook ribs right. Whether you choose to cook them on the grill or in the oven, you're looking at several hours of cook time, which isn't always convenient when you're trying to throw dinner together in under an hour.

Going out to a restaurant every time you're craving fajitas can get expensive for some of us, and there may be times when you simply don't feel like leaving your house to get your fajita fix. Luckily, though, it's a lot easier than you may think to make fajitas at home.

To transform a cheeseburger into a quesadilla, simply swap the burger bun for a flour tortilla, resulting in a crispy, cheesy delight.

Cooking prime rib on the grill rather than in the oven will give you more smoky flavor and that signature char of a steak - just on a juicy, thick cut like prime rib. It's important to note that this method works best for rib steaks that are about 2 inches thick and weigh about 2 pounds.

Knob Creek's smoked maple offering is a smooth, smoky and slightly sweet bourbon with full-bodied maple notes as well as hints of rich vanilla and caramel. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 45%, which means it needs to be incorporated in the barbecue sauce at the cooking stage, as opposed to just stirring it into a store-bought version of the condiment.

Gochujang is a staple condiment in Korean cuisine that you can easily find in Asian supermarkets and Trader Joe's for under $2. It usually comes in a plastic red tub. Made with fermented Korean chilis and other ingredients like glutinous rice, soybeans, and salt, just one tablespoon of this condiment will add sweetness, heat, and umami to your burger patties.

There's something to be said about the appeal of chain restaurants. In theory, customers can walk into any location and get much the same experience. There's nothing wrong with that, especially considering some chains take quality seriously. Chain barbecue restaurants are fewer and farther between than, say, steakhouse chains, and that's because of some unique challenges, including the differences between beloved regional styles. However, the one thing that unites great barbecue is the need for great sides - which is why we're here.

Outdoor grilling and smoking is a unique pleasure, particularly in warmer weather. When there's a chill in the air, and you don't much feel like standing outside, it might seem like cooking up your favorite grilled meats is just out of reach. The oven can easily be your saving grace for savory favorites, albeit with a slightly different but nonetheless delicious taste and texture. It's simply a matter of proper preparation, time, and patience to create a crave-worthy rack of ribs right in your oven.

Among the many tips for making the absolute best grilled chicken, one vital step is to salt your chicken at least a day prior to grilling. Known as dry brining, this technique is important to let the flavors and tenderizing effects of the salt fully permeate your chicken to give it an optimal taste and texture when grilled. Though similar to a marinade or wet brine, the difference with dry brining is that it's considerably less messy than a liquid-based brine.

"Let your meat rest for at least 2 hours after smoking, wrapped in peach paper and tucked into an insulated cooler. It makes a huge difference," he said. This is because all of the juices in the meat tend to pool together as the muscle fibers contract during cooking. But as the meat cools and the fibers relax, the moisture can redistribute evenly. Any excess water will also have the chance to evaporate, which prevents the meat from turning out dry and flavorless.

First things first: Even the most cursory glance around the internet will reveal that virtually every account of monkey sauce -- known in South Africa, even more confusingly, as "monkey gland sauce" -- feels obliged to confirm that no, it does not contain actual monkey (do recipes for monkey bread need to offer this reassurance?). Rather, monkey sauce is a deceptively simple yet hugely adaptable accompaniment to meat, and no traditional South African braai (the local style of barbecue) is complete without it.

Burgers are meant to be an easy meal, requiring little more than shaping ground beef into patties and cooking them to juicy perfection. While a basic burger always hits the spot, sometimes plain ground beef patties can become lackluster and boring. However, you may have a hard time finding inspiration to jazz up your hamburgers that doesn't require a lot of extra effort.

It's the dead of winter, but you're still craving food that's been cooked on the grill. That smoky flavor, the crispy, almost-burnt texture, and that signature sizzle just can't be recreated in the kitchen. But let's be honest: Grilling during the winter is a lot different than grilling during the summer. The cold temps mean that it's a lot less pleasant to be standing outside for extended periods of time,

You probably know apple juice as a fixture of childhood lunches, or a seasonal siren that announces fall's arrival. You spot glimpses of it in cocktails and perhaps you sip on warm renditions at bonfires. Still, you might not really expect to find this familiar drink at barbecues, sitting in a spray bottle next to the flaming grill. Don't worry, it's not there by mistake. With all that it can do, apple juice absolutely belongs on your list of grilling essentials.

To achieve tender, juicy perfection, chef Irvine's crispy fried pork spare ribs recipe involves wrapping a rack of ribs tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil after they've been seasoned and have had time to rest before oven cooking. But the plastic! Won't the heat from the oven melt it? In short, no. In a similar rib recipe for Food Network, Chef Irvine specifically notes that at 225 degrees Fahrenheit, the plastic wrap won't get hot enough to melt.
