Summer Grilling 2025!
Recipes & Flavor Bombs
Wishing everyone in the USA a Happy Belated July 4th Independence Day 🎇
I would think it’s impossible to talk of summer cooking without grilling or bbq coming up. These are also as American as Apple Pie and Baseball.
There’s no reason to just stop at charcoal grilled burgers or hotdogs.
The grill or bbq pit offers so many delicious possibilities that I wanted to list some of my favorites and also drop a Summer Grilling deal for you to get your hands on my favorite spice blends to use on the grill.
Fish
There is no need to be intimidated by the idea of grilling fish. If there is one recipe I would tell you to try this summer it’s my Whole Grilled Red Snapper that comes with a great hack to make sure the fish does not stick to your grill.
The flavor is off the charts so highly recommend trying this
Chicken
You can turn any grill into a makeshift bbq pit to churn out juicy, flavorful and memorable BBQ chicken. And it’s so easy to do.
Next time you’re thinking of firing up the grill and craving some chicken, check out my EZ BBQ Chicken.
What really puts this chicken over the top is the addictive white bbq sauce… tangy with a vinegar-horseradish kick that makes this craveworthy!
Backyard Party
If you want to make a show-stopping communal feast for friends then consider my full playbook for a legit Korean BBQ feast. Just have your friends bring the soju, make some slushies (I recommend watermelon soju) and you’ll be all set for a great party.
Spicy Chicken
Jerk chicken is one of my favorites and paired with a tangy pickled-pineapple it’s a match made in heaven.
This recipe has my full-homemade spice blend recipe that delivers genuine jerk spice and flavor.
Ribs
Everyone should have a go-to recipe for BBQ Competition worthy pork ribs.
This is my go to that never lets me down for pork ribs that will make you look like a pit master 🙌 perfect with a cold brew on a hot summer day.
Fire up these recipes in your back yard this summer and you’ll be assured happy friends and good times!
And now, before signing off I’m excited to share with you:
Craken Culinary First Spice Bundle Special 🔥
If you’re new here you might not know that I launched my own line of spices and seasonings to help you in the kitchen.
If you want the full break down from the initial launch you can see here ⬇️
Cyber Monday: Spice Wars Launch
Cyber Monday is here and as a valued supporter you get a first look at a new product launch that has been in the works for quite some time 🙌
But the TLDR is that I launched these spices and seasoning blends after seeing so many people wanting easier, faster meals at home without sacrificing flavors.
Using my import contacts from when I had my own restaurants I went to work formulating high quality, no filler, flavor bombs for home cooks to love.
Fast Forward 18 months and it’s been long over due to launch a spice bundle with a perk for you!
The Craken Summer Grill Seasoning bundle is a pick of (4) seasonings that are a match made in heaven for your grilling pleasure.
Craken Steak
Craken 2K
Craken Carne
Craken Fajita
The names are big hints and you just need to apply to your protein of choice and grill.
Craken Steak: begins with the finest fleur de sel guerande and combining with bourbon barrel smoked peppercorns, herbs, spices and kick of umami, this seasoning will take your steak game to the highest level.
Craken 2K: Korean chili & Kimchi, this seasoning blend takes you straight to Asia. With the addition of two types of sesame seed and some umami boosters, Craken 2K is a versatile flavor bomb. Use on beef short ribs, flank or skirt steaks, pork loins or chicken thighs and don't forget seafood like salmon or tuna steaks.
Craken Carne: This meat seasoning blend is an ode to Grandpa cooking out steaks on a grill. Think of Montreal steak seasoning with more zesty nuance. If grandpa was cooking up a steak with his own special seasoning, this would be it.
Craken Fajita: The best chicken fajitas are just a sprinkle away. I'm not exaggerating. Simply season bonless skinless chicken thighs with Craken Fajita and set aside while the grill is firing up. Grill, rest, slice... va-voom... your neighbors will be knocking your door down! (Can use on beef skirt steak as well)
And for the perk!
