How to make sure your meat is cooked perfectly for your BBQ

At Spring Creek BBQ, we obviously know a thing or two about BBQ. It happens to be our specialty. But just like anyone else who is new to the grill and decides to take on that daunting task of feeding your picky friends and family, we had to learn the basics of cooking meat too. And if you’ve never cooked meat before or you’ve been doing so for a while and want to perfect your craft, then you’ve come to the right place. Because Spring Creek will teach you all about how to make sure you’ve cooked your meat just right!

Chicken

Bbq near me? Then they probably serve chicken like us. Even though chicken is served almost everyone and is a fan favorite at Super Bowl Parties and BBQs alike, not everyone knows how to tell whether or not that bird is cooked right. There are many ways to prepare chicken from frying, to baking. But one thing that’s for sure is that there should never be any red or pink coloring in your chicken before serving. Chicken should always be white. You can when your chicken is fully cooked also when your thermometer reads 180°F, or 165°F for chicken pieces.

Beef

Next on the list for a BBQ favorite is beef. Most BBQs all have burgers unless you’re shaking things up vegan style. If not, then you want to make sure your beef isn’t entirely red in the middle. It should be a crispy black on the outside and grey on the inside. Of course, some of your guests may want their burger a little rare. And that’s perfectly fine. But there’s a difference between rare and not cooked thoroughly. Always make sure that the burger has more grey than red in it and you’ll be the Best bbq in DFW. Second to us, of course. 

Sausage  

Last but certainly not least, some of the Best restaurants in DFW love to change up their BBQ menu from time to time and add a little sausage to the mix. Sausage and be cheap and quick to make. But even so, it can also be delicious if prepared right. When cooking sausage, the same rule applies from chicken and beef. You want to make sure you see no pink. With sausage, it’s even more so than before. The inside of the sausage should be completely grey. 

And there you have it. Now you’re prepared to not only go to a BBQ nearby like Spring Creek, but you’re ready to throw your own and bring out the meats for your guest. But remember, if you don’t want to risk it and want to leave it up to the pros, c’mon into Spring Creek today!
