LOW + SLOW CHILI MAVEN BRISKET
The tastiest and easiest brisket you’ll ever make. Full of smoky flavour — no smoker required. Chili Maven’s MILD & SMOKY Salsa Macha gives it that crust + burnt ends, while low + slow cooking makes it fall-apart tender.
Serve it classic 🥩 straight from the pot, or stack it on a sandwich 🥪 with a SPICY & NUTTY Salsa Macha mayo. Either way, this is brisket the Chili Maven way. 🔥
