Barbecue Popcorn Tips

What other seasonings are good on popcorn?

There are so many flavored popcorn seasonings to try! Some of our favorites are nacho, Tex-Mex and rosemary-parmesan.

Can you make popcorn on the grill?

Yes, it is possible to make popcorn on the grill. Drizzle vegetable oil on a disposable aluminum baking pan, pour kernels on the pan and cover with aluminum foil. Set the grill to medium to high heat and give the pan a few shakes with tongs while the kernels pop. Similar to the microwave method, make sure to remove the popcorn from the grill immediately once you hear the kernels stop popping to prevent it from burning.

Can you make barbecue popcorn ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this popcorn recipe ahead of time! For best results, enjoy this barbecue popcorn within two days.
