TIPS & TRICKS

BBQ JERK SAUCE:Simply add 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1 1/2 tsps spicy jerk seasoning, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, pinch of sea salt and black pepper, whisking everything together until well incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Wallah!

HOMEMADE BREADCRUMBS: To make your own breadcrumbs, simply grind 1-2 cups of cubed bread into a food processor until finely chopped. Place crumbs onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 5-6 minutes in the oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally. Once brown + crisp, remove from oven and let cool. Continue recipe steps and store remaining breadcrumbs in a tightly sealed container.
