Chicken Wings!

We have been selling a LOT of chicken wings!

Right now if you order 10#s or more, the chicken wings are only $3.99 per pound! This offer only stands while supplies last, however we are doing our best to keep them available to you for as long as we can. While many of you may already have a go-to chicken wing sauce, we wanted to offer some new sauce recipes for you all to try when you get your chicken wings! We hope some of the options peak your interests, we would love to know if you give them a try! Let us show you what we found!

Honey Sriracha Buffalo Wing Sauce!

Ingrediants:

5 TB butter

1/2 cup pure honey

1/4 cup sriracha

1 TB light soy sauce

2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice

This sauce makes the perfect blend between sweet and spicy! If you enjoy the typical sweet mild, or sweet hot wing sauce, then maybe you should give this recipe a try! The honey and the sriracha mix to make a tasty sauce that starts sweet but ends with a kick.

Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 - 1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Garlic parmesan is a fan favorite when it comes to chicken wing sauce! It is personally my go-to, so I wanted to guarantee that all my blog readers have a great garlic parm recipe! The delicious grated cheese and salty garlic flavor come together to make the perfect classic wing sauce. You can also switch up the recipe, add some honey if you prefer a sweet wing, or add some hot sauce if you like some extra heat!

Cajun Dry Rub!

Ingredients:

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp garlic salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp dried thyme

Saucy chicken wings are delicious, but sometimes we are just looking for something a little less messy. That is where dry rubs come in very handy. This Cajun dry rub is packed with all sorts of flavor. If you are looking for a wing that will provide a salty crunch, then give this dry rub a try!

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings!

Ingredients:

RUB:

2 TBS baking powder

2 TBS brown sugar

1 1/2 TBS lemon pepper seasoning

2 tsp EACH garlic powder, onion powder, salt

1 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Lemon Pepper Sauce:

3 TBS melted butter

1/2 TBS lemon pepper seasoning

1 TBS lemon juice

1 tsp honey

This recipe mixes the idea of a saucy wing and a dry rub! Start out with a flavorful rub that bakes into the chicken, and then add the tangy lemon pepper sauce to add additional flavor! This sweet and salty combination could easily become your new favorite kind of wing!

SO MANY OPTIONS TO TRY!

Our hope is that one of these wing flavors looks delicious enough for you to try! If you do decide to use one of these recipes, we would love to know how it goes! You can tag us on Facebook or Instagram with your chicken wing recipes! Don’t forget to order wings before it is too late! This deal is not one you’re going to want to miss. Thank you so much for reading this blog, it is my pleasure to get one posted as often as I can.

Meet your Chicken Barbeque Servers!

We know that so many of our customers are huge fans of our chicken barbeques! Every Friday in the summer months we have marinated chicken halves cooking for you to purchase and enjoy right away! You can purchase a chicken halve for $8, or a whole meal for $10! (Please note these prices are accurate as of June 22nd 2021.) The meal would include your chicken, a roll, chips, and your choice of side, between the delicious options of macaroni salad, potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans! Once you decide what you’d like, we invite you to sit and eat across the road at our picnic tables. The weather is getting nicer, and there is nothing better than barbeque chicken on a beautiful day! I know sitting in the sun isn’t always a blast, but we also sell freshly squeezed lemonade with our chicken barbeques to keep you hydrated with a delightful drink! If you have come to our chicken barbeque in the past, then there is a very high chance you were greeted and served by the young ladies I’m going to introduce you to today! I’d like you to meet our core four chicken servers! Jade Miller, Mia Widrick, Rain Miller, and Brin Miller all have their own jobs when it comes to serving you chicken. They have learned their jobs well, and have fun while working! Occasionally other young helpers are around to do jobs as well, but these four girls are a key part in our Friday barbeques.


Six year old Brin Miller is always excited when Friday comes around, she loves helping out at chicken barbeques! Out of all the girls who serve you, Brin enjoys it the most. She is an ambitious young girl, always looking for a way to be helpful. Brin’s job when it comes to serving chicken dinners is to make sure you get your chips and roll! As soon as you walk up to the table she bounces out of her seat and gets to serving you immediately, ready to put your roll and chips into your to-go container. She also proudly told me that she put the “B”s on the containers of baked beans! If you were to ask Brin which side you should choose with your chicken barbeque meal, baked beans would be her answer! Of all the side options, the beans are her favorite! On occasion Brin get’s to help with the family business outside of chicken barbeques, she can sometimes be found helping in the bakery and glazing the doughnuts our customers love so much! When the chicken barbeque line has died down Brin likes to sip on mountain dew, however she made a point to tell me she doesn’t drink her soda in front of customers. She has work to do then! Next time you come and get some chicken make sure you say hi to this young but hard-working girl!


What is Brin’s favorite Miller’s Meat Market product?

When I asked Brin this question she quickly answered, “the gum!”

As Brin gets older we all hope she realizes we do not make our own gum. :)



Rain Miller has her own role in chicken barbeques, and she is amazing at her job! Rain is 8 years old, and has been helping out with barbeques for a couple of years now. When you order a chicken dinner, Rain will speak right up say “What would you like for a side?” If you aren’t sure what your options are then Rain will happily list them off for you, and put your side container in your to-go box! Rain prefers the macaroni salad out of all the side choices, so if you ask her for an opinion that’s probably what she would say! Rain isn’t a shy young girl, she speaks well to customers at just 8 years old! In the photos of Rain below, you can see her labeling the tops of the side containers so she knows which is which, and you can also see her pursuing her role as the “runner” of the group. If the girls are short on something then Rain is often the one to run along and get what they need. Rain is a spunky youngun with a good sense of humor, but she also knows when it is time to do her job. Now you’ll know the name of the young lady asking what side you want with your chicken dinner!


What is Rain’s favorite Miller’s Meat Market product?

She loves the Appalachian Ch’arki, because it isn’t too spicy!



Mia Widrick is quite experienced when it comes to Friday chicken barbeque serving. She is now 12 years old, but she began working the barbeques when she was 6 or 7 years old. Mia’s main role is to handle the money from customers when they purchase chicken or meals. Back in her early years of helping out, Mia and Jade used to fight on the bus ride to Miller’s over who would get to handle the money that day! It was a coveted job back then! Mia is very mature for her age, and handles the busy Fridays well. She actually really enjoys when things get busy, “I think it’s fun!” she told me. It would be easy for a 12 year old to get overwhelmed with a long line of customers on a hot summer day, but Mia thrives in customer service and does her job well. When things aren’t as crazy, Mia and the other girls past time by playing competitive games of checkers. Maybe you have seen our checker table outside the store, well these girls put it to good use on Fridays! If Mia is hungry during the day the side option she would choose to snack on would be macaroni salad, just like Rain! Make sure you greet Mia with a smile next time she cashes you out at the chicken barbeque table!


What is Mia’s favorite Miller’s Meat Market product?

Mia loves the Maple Snappies!



Jade Miller is who I would consider to be the head of this crew. She is 14 years old, but the chicken barbeques are far from a new experience. Jade estimates she started helping out at the barbeques when she was about 5 years old. Her and her family (Darrell Miller family), moved into the house attached to the store building when she was 5, and she specifically remembers receiving a jean skirt from her Grandma Charlene for her 5th birthday. Jade told me she could recall how “wore it the next day to work at the chicken barbeque.” Jades job is to put your chicken in the to-go container, and occasionally she takes care of the money when Mia is busy with something else. If you ask Jade what side you should choose with your meal she would recommend the potato salad, but she likes macaroni salad just as much. Jade typically comes out to the store around ten o’clock in the morning to set things up, that leaves her about an hour of preparation time before things start moving at the chicken barbeque table! Jade is always overseeing the table, making sure everything is running smoothly and getting done right. She is a great big sister to Rain and Brin and is a hardworking example to the girls.


What is Jade’s favorite Miller’s Meat Market product?

Jade enjoys Hillbilly Ch’arki and Ring Bologna the most!



While these four ladies really keep things on track during our busy Fridays, they aren’t the only young girls helping out around the shop. We have helpers of all ages! Below you can see photos of Mia’s younger sisters! First, Gracia is helping out in the bakery. She was given the job of labeling the sides for chicken barbeque, so that the girls outside know which is which! Aria is in the next photo, also overseeing things in the bakery and helping out with things as she is asked to. Raeleigh can be found following her Grandmother, Charlene, waiting for a job to be given to her. She looks up to the older ladies who work, and can always be found tagging along while they diligently do their tasks! If you see any of these younguns around, be sure to give them a smile or a wave. We love having such bright spirits running around, eager to be helpful at every moment.

A great group of working young ladies.

This group of girls are nothing but young and hard workers. They are great at what they do, and like to do it! It is so fun for me to introduce our workers to you, each of our employees are valuable in their own special way, and I have found such joy in telling you about the people who make the Miller’s Meat Market experience pleasant for all our customers. If you have been to our chicken barbeque before, then these may be familiar faces. However if you haven’t visited us on chicken barbeque day we hope you do soon, these young ladies would love to meet you! Thank you for coming to see what I had to share today!

Remember to check out the blog next Tuesday! Have a fantastic day, everybody!
