🌍 Origin & History

In 1950s suburban America, the backyard grill became a symbol of prosperity and leisure. Chicken was the perfect candidate — it was cheap, widely available, and took well to the new bottled marinades hitting supermarket shelves. But bottled marinades are sugar bombs. Our version goes back to basics: herbs, acid, and heat. Real grilled chicken flavor doesn't need sugar.
