Monday (8/17): Sweet Tea & Pepper Jelly Grilled Chicken with a Buttermilk Herb Crema, Lemon-Scallion Butter Rice and Smoky Garlic Green Beans (Gluten-Free)

This is Southern summer comfort food with a serious upgrade.

We start by brining the chicken in sweet tea so it stays incredibly tender and juicy, then grill it until beautifully charred and finish it with a glossy pepper jelly glaze that’s sweet, smoky, tangy, and just a little bit spicy. It’s the kind of chicken that has you cutting off “one more piece” before you’ve even finished the first.

Then comes the Buttermilk Herb Crema—cool, creamy, bright with lemon, and packed with fresh herbs. It balances the pepper jelly perfectly and honestly makes the whole meal.

On the side, our Lemon-Scallion Butter Rice is fluffy, buttery, and fresh with citrus and scallions, while the Smoky Garlic Green Beans bring savory, garlicky flavor with just enough smokiness to keep them from feeling like an afterthought.

Every bite hits something different: sweet tea, pepper jelly, smoky char, cool herbs, buttery rice, bright lemon, and garlicky green beans. Somehow it all works together beautifully.

This is the kind of meal you won’t find anywhere else in Birmingham—and exactly the kind of dinner we love making most.

Delivered Monday afternoon between 2:30 and 5:30.
