My Favorite Brands to Use in this Recipe:

• Primal Kitchen BBQ Sauce – Unlike most mainstream BBQ sauces loaded with high‑fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or refined sugars, Primal Kitchen contains zero added sugar. It’s made entirely from USDA‑organic, Non‑GMO ingredients like tomato paste, apple & balsamic vinegars, mustard, spices, and tapioca starch, with no preservatives, MSG, or cane syrup. It delivers bold flavor without compromising on health offering a clean, transparent, and minimally processed alternative to typical supermarket options.
• Bell & Evans Organic Chicken – Their chickens are raised without antibiotics or added hormones, fed a 100% organic, all-vegetable diet, and humanely cared for from hatch to harvest. What truly sets them apart is their air-chilled process. Instead of using chlorinated water baths like many brands, Bell & Evans air-chills their chicken resulting in better flavor, improved texture, and no added water weight. It means a crispier sear, juicier bites, and a more pure, natural taste. I trust it every time I want to serve something clean, simple, and truly delicious.
• Organic Vegetables – Organic produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs, preserving natural nutrients and flavors while reducing exposure to toxins. Opting for fresh, organic vegetables ensures you’re getting the cleanest, most nutrient-dense ingredients in every bit
