Best Winter BBQ Dishes to Warm You Up This Season
Let’s be real—when winter rolls around, nothing beats cozying up with some hearty, soul-warming BBQ. It’s scientifically proven! When the temperature drops, your cravings for warm, hearty comfort food skyrocket (seriously, we checked—here’s the proof). And what’s more comforting than winter BBQ dishes?
Here at Chad’s BBQ, we’re all about bringing the heat—literally—with smoked meats, filling sides, and a laid-back, family—and dog-friendly vibe. Whether you’re stopping in with the crew or grabbing something to go, we’ve got the perfect dishes to make even the chilliest nights feel a little warmer.
Not sure where to start? Here are some of our top picks for winter BBQ dishes that’ll satisfy you all season long.
Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich
With this menu pick, you get warm, satisfying pulled pork and some extra heat! Our Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich is one of the best winter BBQ dishes, featuring slow-smoked pork and our special spicy sauce.
If you’re not a fan of added spice, you might want to try our regular Pulled Pork Sandwich instead. You get the same delicious smoked pork on the same warm roll without extra spice. Instead, we smoke the pork in a sweet, tangy sauce to complement the meat.
Not sure which hearty side to choose? Mac and cheese can satisfy your craving for cheesy, warm food, while cornbread is a tasty treat. Pork and beans can be a filling choice with extra protein and tons of flavor.
No matter which side you choose, our Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich will satisfy and delight you and your family.
Alabama Chicken Platter
Deciding on the best winter BBQ dishes this year is tough, but our Alabama Chicken platter is a big contender. With the delicious Alabama Chicken platter, you’ll enjoy half a smoked chicken, including a breast, thigh, wing, and leg. You also get to enjoy our special Alabama white BBQ sauce with pickles and bread.
This dish can stand independently, but if you’re extra hungry, consider adding one of our housemade side dishes to create a well-rounded, hot meal. Some popular sides to pair with our Alabama Chicken dish include:
- Onion rings with spicy sauce
- Pickle fries with ranch
- Sweet potato fries
- Pork and beans
We especially recommend the onion rings with spicy sauce. The extra heat in the sauce is sure to warm you up on cold winter nights!
Chad’s Family Meals
Serving a lot of people at once? Chad’s BBQ Family Meals is a perfect choice, featuring a wide variety of smoked meats for you to enjoy. You don’t have to jump in the kitchen and cook when the weather’s cold; let us do the hard work for you.
Chad’s BBQ #3 Family Meal is one of the best large winter BBQ dishes. It features:
- A rack of baby-back ribs
- A whole grilled chicken, portioned into halves

It makes an awesome appetizer or main dish, so if you’re on the hungrier side, you can safely order it as your meal.
Chad’s Sampler includes pickles, onions, and warm bread to complement the meat on the platter. Pass it around the table so everyone can share the warm goodness of one of the best winter BBQ dishes—or keep it all for yourself; we won’t tell.
