THE QUARTERBACK

PLAYBOOK

Huddle up with your team around this tailgating spread that has a touch of gourmet infused throughout!

• Rosemary Lamb Gourmet Sliders

Divide up our flavor-packed Rosemary Lamb Gourmet Burger into slider portions at home prior to cooking. Serve with Cedar's Tzatziki or Labne and Brooklyn Delhi Tomato Achaar on our Ciabatta Roll.

• Chicken Lollipops

Take your snacking spread to the next level with these impressive chicken lollipops. Starting with the thinner end of a DLM Natural Air-Chilled Chicken Drumstick, carefully cut through the skin and meat until you've reached the bone. Repeat this process going all the way around the drumstick. With the back edge of the knife, or your hands, push the meat towards the thicker end of the drumstick and pull the skin over to help form the lollipop shape. Bake or grill and brush with Jack's Grill Honey Ginger Teriyaki Grilling Sauce for a perfectly sweet and savory bite.
