There’s nothing like the smell of smoke, the sizzle of a grill, and the sound of friends laughing under the summer sun. If you’re ready to throw a BBQ that’ll be the talk of the block, we’ve got you covered — Wiggidy Wayne style.
Here’s your ultimate guide to hosting a backyard cookout packed with bold flavor, unforgettable vibes, and food that’ll make your neighbors wish they brought Tupperware.
⸻
✅ Step 1: Pick Your Proteins (And Sauce ‘Em Right)
The heart of any BBQ is the meat — and it better be bold.
• Ribs: Go low and slow with baby backs or St. Louis-style ribs. Use a dry rub first (like our Smokin’ Sweet Rub & Seasoning), then glaze during the last 20 minutes with our Apple Pie Moonshine BBQ Sauce for a sweet-smoky finish.
• Chicken Thighs & Drumsticks: Marinate in Wiggidy’s Carolina Bold BBQ Sauce overnight for juicy, punchy flavor. Grill until crispy and caramelized.
• Burgers: Mix our Steak, Chop & Burger Seasoning directly into your ground beef for a juicy, crave-worthy patty. Don’t forget a slather of your favorite Wiggidy Ketchup on the bun!
• Veggie Option? Try grilled portobello mushrooms brushed with our Kickin’ Hickory BBQ Sauce for a hearty, smoky option.

🍽 Step 2: Serve Up Sides That Slap
No one comes for just the meat — sides matter.
• Wiggidy Baked Beans: Add a splash of Apple Pie Moonshine BBQ Sauce to your baked beans for a hint of sweet heat.
• Corn on the Cob: Brush with butter, sprinkle with our Steak, Chop & Burger Seasoning, and throw on the grill.
• Loaded Potato Salad: Toss in bacon, sharp cheddar, green onion, and a dollop of Habanero Ketchup for a tangy kick.
• Slaw with Soul: Mix shredded cabbage with mayo, vinegar, and a spoonful of Carolina Bold BBQ Sauce for that Southern snap.

🎵 Step 3: Set the Mood
A proper backyard BBQ needs:
• A solid playlist (old-school funk, country, and some rock & roll)
• String lights or tiki torches as the sun goes down
• Cold drinks (think lemonade, iced tea, local brews, and mocktails)
Bonus points for a backyard game setup — cornhole, horseshoes, or even a kiddie pool for toe-dipping.
