We have these things called Griller Packs they have 4 Bratwurst,4 pork strips and 2 chicken leg 1/4's and they are only $5.98. Been selling good over the summer.
i have been trying to think of new ideas to push mainly for the cold winter .. i need something new and different approiate for the cold season to get folks attention so we can stay strong in the slow season. anyone got any idea? i am talking beef, pork and chicken. what could i do with those 3 to make them more interesting?
We do a great job with seasoned chicken parts in our market, we use a garlic pepper blend and paprika it looks beautiful and is delicious. During the summer months with a Great on the Grill sticker but in the fall and winter we switch to an Oven Ready sticker and sales never really slow down!! Sometimes its as simple as that. Put that idea in thier head and do a little work for them they will buy!
I sell a lot of BBQ chicken halves. they put them on the grill in the summer, and in the oven in the winter. i use old plantation bbq season and rub with a pk of shack & bake bbq glaze. I make stuffed bls porkchops, stuffed chicken, and sometimes i bone out roasting chicken and make stuffed-boneless roasters.
not any new items but with cold weather coming we are going to push anything that can be stuffed with bread dressing. The dressing only cost about .70 lb. and most of our stuffed items are from $2.99lb. on the low end to over $7.00 lb. on the high end.
I have been doing Pot Roast on a stick Clods cut into chunks and marinated in a burgundy/ mushroom marinade I do them on the City Chicken stick they weigh between 6 and 8 ounces each

my favorite is our Parmesan panko chicken and pork the pork is a boneless sirloin cutlet, the chicken a boneless skinless breast they are dipped in a mix of melted butter and Dijon mustard then into Panko breading that has been seasoned with Parmesan, garlic powder and white pepper
the pork cutlets are 8-10 ounces each and are the size of a dinner plate too

We make a Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Burger that we sell in our store. The local newspaper actually did an article about us and our burgers. We grind the bacon thru the grinder with the beef on the last grind, then we add sliced pickled jalapenos and shredded cheddar jack cheese. We get $4.00 lb and they sell like hot cakes
One bite and you'll realize why this is the most popular burger in our market. To make these suculent half pound burgers, we use nothing but the juiciest cuts of Choice Beef (triple ground). During the final step, we grind our own Special Hickory Smoked Bacon and plenty of Wisconsin Cheddar Jack Cheese.
