Summer is here and you know what that means: time to have some friends over for an awesome cookout! You already know that Slap Ya Mama seasonings and sauces help make spice up anything you throw on the grill, so here are some other tips to help make your party the hottest in your neighborhood!
1. Want to keep the bugs away while you eat? If you throw some sage or juniper onto your warm grill or firepit, it can go a long way towards repelling those pesky mosquitos!
2. Clean your grill grate…with an onion! You can use a halved onion to scrub the gunk out of your grill, and it’ll leave you with a great scent while you cook the food, as opposed to the smell of cleaning chemicals. Also, it’s cheaper and greener!
3. Everyone prefers having their meat cooked a certain way (rare, medium, well done, etc.) and it can be real hard to get someone else to do it just right. So let your guests help by doing it themselves! It turns a chore into an activity and gets people talking. Plus, if you are inviting new people it can be a great icebreaker!
4. Need more greens in your diet? Just about EVERY vegetable grills great with Slap Ya Mama! Having a nice savory taste to broccoli, zucchini, or peppers can help even the most stubborn eater.
5. Be creative! Not every cookout needs to be the typical burgers and hot dogs, you can substitute with different meats! Lamb, chicken, venison, fish, all of these grill great and are healthy! Your guests will remember your cookout, and be more likely to come to your next one, especially when you open their eyes to something new!
Enjoy your summer, and as always, and whenever you think of spicing things up, you should think of Slap Ya Mama!

A delicious recipe from our friends at Gov’t Taco in Baton Rouge, LA.

Chicken Sauce Piquante is a traditional cajun recipe that has been around for generations. With a reddish spicy gravy, it has an incredible flavor and fairly simple to prepare. Served over rice, this dish was and still is a staple in many households in and around the Acadiana area. There are many methods and recipes for this particular dish but in our family, this is how we were taught to prepare a sauce piquante.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Generously season chicken with Slap Ya Mama Original Blend and a few splashes of Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Sauce. On medium-high heat, pour about 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 4-quart pot. Once hot, brown pieces of chicken on all sides and place aside until all chicken is browned. Don’t be afraid to burn the chicken a little or for it to stick to the bottom of the pot. This is where the gravy will come from. Add onions, bell peppers, garlic and just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. Sauté until vegetables are soft. Add tomato sauce; continue to sauté for10 minutes. Add mushrooms, beef broth, whipping cream and 1 tbsp Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning. Sauté for 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium, add chicken and fill pot with water just to the top of the chicken. Cover and let boil for an hour or until chicken is tender, stirring occasionally. Lower heat; stir in green onions and parsley. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Server over rice and enjoy!
Note: You may add smoked sausage to this dish. If doing so, you would treat it just as you do the chicken.
