How to Make BBQ Deviled Eggs
These BBQ deviled eggs are very easy to make in only a few simple steps.
(Scroll down to the detailed printable recipe card for exact measurements.)
- Start with making 12 hard boiled eggs, cool, and peel them.
- Cut them in half and scoop out the cooked yolk.
- Mix the yolk with the mayo, BBQ sauce, pickle relish, and seasonings.
- Evenly distribute the yolk mixture back into the hollowed out egg white shells.
- Garnish with paprika and scallions, serve, and enjoy!
Tips for Making Deviled Eggs
- Turn the uncooked eggs on their side. The night before you cook them, turn the eggs on their side in the refrigerator. It helps center the yolks.
- Cook up perfect hard boiled eggs. Follow these steps on How To Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs.
- Fill the cooked egg whites easier. Scoop the filling into a pastry bag or plastic bag; cut a small hole in the corner and squeeze gently, pushing down, from the top.
Serving Suggestions and Storage
Deviled Eggs can be prepared 1-2 days in advance. In my humble opinion, though, you shouldn’t assemble them until close to the time you’ll be serving them. They taste the best fresh! So, prepare your eggs and yolk mixture, but keep them separate (egg white halves wrapped well in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out, and the yolk mixture sealed in an airtight container – everything refrigerated!) Then fill the hollowed out egg whites before you’ll be eating them. It doesn’t take long. Once assembled they should be kept in the fridge and consumed within 2 days.

I live alone so only made a half recipe. Loved them. Great new flavor for me. Would make again.
Gotta tell you, Amy – We totally made these. And they’re awesome. Of course, we also added bacon… which made them even MORE awesome (it was for a bacon-themed 4th of July shindig). I heart you.
Made these for the Fourth along with a few other versions and these were the favorite! WOOT.
Yum! I wouldn’t have thought of this, but I love BBQ chicken and potato salad made with lots of eggs, so it sounds scrumptious! I love your tips! I only knew about putting them in ice water. My granddaughter LOVES deviled eggs, but my grandson only wants the whites (with all yolk wiped off.) I’m not sure that he’s actually related to me.
I have that same deviled egg platter!! I love it! These look delicious!
Deviled eggs remind me of my dad. It’s the only thing he ever cooked, well that and fudge.
Made this version for a party and the crowd ate.them.up. WIN. Should have made double!
I did a party here without deviled eggs. Once, just once, I skipped making them and OMG the wrath that was thrust upon me!! So I never let that happen again!
The good egg – I read recently that organically fed, free-range hens produce eggs containing 3X more protein and 1/3 less cholesterol than their caged, steroid-pumped cousins.
We have an annual Fouth of July BBQ and I hope to have these, but then maybe I’d rather have them just for us! Yum!
This is a new take on deviled eggs. I might try it on a few before tainting the whole batch!
I never stopped eating eggs and am trying to ignore the negative studies that bombard us regularly.
I like mine in the original form. When it comes to putting BBQ sauce on a perfectly good deviled egg, that’s gilding the lily, and I’ll take mine without the option. It’s like a moon roof on a car that you never take out at night. Or a sun roof in Minneapolis, eh?
If they were really bad for you, would Pottery Barn sell a Deviled Egg Platter, I ask you?
I’ll take a dozen, please. Just paprika and a chair. Seriously, somebody ought to open a Deviled Egg Emporium.
I can handle anything but chili powder. That said, have you tried adding just a touch of Worsterseshirersr sauce? Mmmmmmm, mmm, good.
Eggs are probably one of the healthiest protein sources out there. Way better than steak. Now I want some deviled eggs! Love the barbecue FLAVA.
This picture makes me want deviled eggs for breakfast. Yum!
I love deviled eggs, but only make them for picnics or barbeques! Need to make more just for myself!
Made these to cut up on my lunch salad. A new favorite!
