I was looking around on Pinterest a couple nights before the party and found a great idea for red, white, and blue sangria! I thought it was such a cute and festive idea that I decided to make my own for my party using white wine, pineapples, strawberries, and blueberries. This sangria was a great refreshing drink that was festive and a perfect compliment to a hot day outside BBQing.
In my Crowdtap McCormick Grill Ambassadors package, there were so many choices of spices, seasonings, and sauces to use! I decided that I wanted to make Sweet Tea marinated chicken, zucchini, and squash skewers, Montreal steak sauce and seasoning marinated chicken breasts, Smoky Applewood burgers, Worcestershire Pub burgers, grilled artichoke, and hot dogs. I invited a couple of friends over and we fired up the grill.
I had never tried any of these spices in the past and was super excited to see how everything would taste. I marinated the chicken over night and skewered them up the next morning.
The burgers were simple to make. I simply opened the package of seasoning, poured the contents into 1 lb of ground beef, mixed together with my hands, and formed into patties.
My friends and I moved the party to the grill and hung out while my boyfriend took over the grill.
Soon enough, the food was ready and we were ready to dig in. First up, chicken skewers. OH. MY. GOSH. This chicken was so tender, juicy, and FLAVORFUL. My guests all commented on how flavorful the chicken was and gobbled all of the skewers up!
The marinated Montreal Steak seasoning/sauce chicken breasts were also a big hit. These were SUPER flavorful and tasted exactly how BBQ chicken should taste! The chicken breasts were my boyfriend's favorite and he is already planning when we will make them again! I was pleasantly surprised with how satisfied my guests were by something that was so simple to make!
Next up, the burgers. I was skeptical about how these would taste since they were so simple to prepare and didn't require any eggs or other ingredients to be added to the beef. I absolutely loved these burgers. The flavor that was infused in the beef from one simple seasoning packet was incredible. The Smoky Applewood had a true smoky bbq flavor and the Worcestershire Pub burgers were infused with a Worcestershire flavor. One of my guests is a burger connoisseur and is SUPER picky when it comes to his burgers. I was shocked when he commented on how delicious these burgers were!
I was so happy that all of the food was a hit and my guests had a truly delicious Fourth of July! I will definitely be buying these products in the future and am SO happy I was given the opportunity to try these products out free of charge!
As always, I received these products free of charge but all opinions are my own.
