Excellent for Competition-Style Ribs

Champions’ Blend is a strong choice for pork ribs because it provides sweetness, smoke, tang and an attractive glazed finish.

During the final stage of cooking:

1. Warm the sauce gently.

2. Apply a thin, even coating to the ribs.

3. Return the ribs to the cooker.

4. Allow the sauce to set until glossy and slightly tacky.

5. Add another light layer only when needed.

Avoid applying a heavy coating too early in the cook because the sauce contains sugar and can darken under prolonged high heat.

Great for Chicken

Use Champions’ Blend as a glaze for smoked, grilled or baked chicken.

It works especially well on:

• Chicken thighs

• Chicken wings

• Drumsticks

• Chicken breasts

• Whole smoked chicken

For a smooth competition-inspired glaze, warm the sauce and apply a thin layer near the end of cooking. Allow it to set before serving.

The sauce can also be thinned slightly with apple juice or another compatible liquid when a lighter glaze is preferred.

Perfect for Pulled Pork

After pulling a cooked pork shoulder, add a small amount of Champions’ Blend and mix it through the meat.

The sauce adds moisture and balanced sweet, smoky and tangy flavour without requiring several different sauces.

Serve additional sauce on the side so guests can adjust the flavour to their preference.

Great on Brisket and Beef

Although Champions’ Blend is especially well suited to pork and chicken, it can also be used with:

• Brisket

• Beef ribs

• Burnt ends

• Burgers

• Meatloaf

• Smoked beef sandwiches

Apply it lightly so the sauce complements rather than overwhelms the natural beef flavour and smoke.

How to Use Blues Hog Champions’ Blend

Champions’ Blend can be used as a:

• Finishing glaze

• Brushing sauce

• Dipping sauce

• Sandwich sauce

• Base for a customized BBQ sauce

• Sauce for pulled pork

• Rib and chicken dunking sauce

Shake or stir the sauce before use.

For glazing meat, apply it during the final stage of cooking and allow enough time for the sauce to warm and set.

For dipping or serving at the table, pour the desired amount into a clean dish rather than dipping cooked food or utensils directly into the main container.

Customize Your BBQ Sauce

Champions’ Blend can be used on its own or combined with other Blues Hog sauces.

Try blending it with:

• Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce for additional sweetness and body

• Blues Hog Tennessee Red for more vinegar tang

• Blues Hog Smokey Mountain for deeper smoke flavour

• Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle for fruit flavour and mild heat

• Blues Hog Sizzlin’ Heat for a spicier finish

Start with a small test batch and record the proportions when creating a custom competition or house sauce.
