Chef Draz Culinary Consulting
Maple & Bacon Glazed Wings
Working for JBS USA, Chef Draz was challenged with the task of developing a menu item in the "snacking" category to be presented to national chain accounts at a large food show. The item had to incorporate specific products from two different JBS foodservice brands.
Bring the flavors of all-day breakfast to the snack and appetizer category with Pilgrim’s fully cooked Super Jumbo chicken wings sauced with a spicy maple glaze and coated with Swift fully cooked bacon bits. They’re savory, sweet, spicy and smoky!
