When mid‑April arrives and the scent of grilled meats fills the air, it’s time to dust off your tongs and explore the world of barbecue marinades. While many people reach for a generic sauce, the best results come from blends crafted with care and high‑quality ingredients. At Le Bon Goût, every barbecue seasoning is made with organic components—think brown sugar, natural sweeteners like molasses and cane sugar, and aromatic spices like paprika, garlic and onion powders. This commitment to organic ingredients means you can enjoy rich flavors without artificial additives.

Our range of organic barbecue marinades offers something for every taste:

• 

   

  Barbecue Marinade / Seasoning Blend– This all‑purpose blend uses tomato paste, vinegar, sugar and herbs. It’s designed to add flavor and moisture to meats or vegetables, whether you’re grilling, roasting or using it as a dipping sauce.

• Brown Sugar Barbecue Marinade – Made with organic brown sugar, this sauce provides a deep, caramel‑like sweetness that’s perfect for basting or glazing. Organic brown sugar retains more minerals than refined white sugar, making it a richer and more sustainable choice.

• Whisky Peach Barbecue Marinade – A unique blend that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the smoky notes of organic whisky. It works as a seasoning, glaze or dipping sauce and adds a fruity twist to pork, chicken, beef or even grilled vegetables.

• Spicy Whisky Peach Barbecue Marinade – This variation is built on organic whisky or bourbon. The oaky, smoky flavors of the liquor complement the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce and make it ideal for those who like a little heat.

• Bourbon Whisky Barbecue Marinade – Crafted with real bourbon, this sauce offers smoky and oaky undertones that enhance the sweetness and tang of the barbecue base. It’s perfect for grill enthusiasts who appreciate a more robust flavor.

Why choose organic marinades?

Many commercial barbecue sauces are loaded with high‑fructose corn syrup and artificial additives. By choosing organic, you not only support sustainable farming practices but also avoid unwanted chemicals. Ingredients like organic brown sugar and natural spices provide depth of flavor while keeping your food clean. Our sauces are versatile enough to be used as rubs, marinades or glazes and can even replace dry rubs that combine sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic and onion powders and spices like cumin.

Oven‑Baked Barbecue Chicken Legs (Dinner in Under an Hour)

Ingredients

• 8 chicken legs, cleaned and patted dry
• ½ cup of your favorite Le Bon Goût barbecue marinade (regular, Brown Sugar or Bourbon)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Marinate: Toss the chicken legs with olive oil and the barbecue sauce. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes; longer (up to overnight) is even better.
2. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Arrange the marinated legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake for about 45–50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F and the sauce has caramelized.
3. Serve: Pair the sticky, tender legs with steamed white rice, a slice of cornbread and sautéed green beans for a full meal. With minimal prep and one pan, you’ll have a delicious dinner ready in under an hour.

 Grilled Whisky Peach Chicken Quarters

Ingredients

• 4 chicken quarter legs (leg and thigh attached), cleaned
• ½ cup Le Bon Goût Whisky Peach or Spicy Whisky Peach Barbecue Marinade
• Optional sides: grilled corn on the cob, potato salad or macaroni and cheese

Instructions

1. Season: Coat the chicken quarters generously with the whisky peach or spicy whisky peach barbecue sauce. There’s no need for extra salt or spices because these all‑in‑one marinades include everything you need.
2. Grill: Heat your grill to medium‑high (about 375 °F). Place the marinated quarters skin‑side down on the grill grates. Cook for 35–40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze is slightly charred.
3. Serve: Enjoy with corn, creamy potato salad or mac and cheese. The combination of sweet peaches, smoky whiskey notes and a hint of spice will make these legs the star of your barbecue.
