Most Popular and Best Barbecue Sauce Recipes

Barbecue Sauces come in many flavors, styles and types. Most everyone is familiar with the thick, sweet sauces that line the shelves of grocery stores. However there is so much more to barbecue sauce than that. These ten barbecue sauce recipes represent the most popular sauces on my site. From thin, vinegar sauces to thick, tomato sauces to mustard based sauces there is something for every kind of barbecue and for everyone. Try something new and make a new kind of barbecue.

1. Classic BBQ Rib Sauce

If you like a rich, thick barbecue sauce on your ribs, then this is the perfect one for you. By using tomato sauce and tomato paste instead of ketchup you get a richer flavor in your barbecue sauce.

2. Big Daddys Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce

Big Daddy says, "This is Carolina style barbecue sauce." This means that it is vinegar and mustard based, as opposed to the ketchup and molasses based sauces of the mid and southwest. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors brings out the absolute best in grilled or smoked pork or chicken.

3. Kansas City Rib Sauce

This is a rich, thick, tomato based Kansas City style barbecue sauce recipe.

4. Mustard Sauce

If you haven't tried a mustard based barbecue sauce then you are really missing out on something. This sauce works well with almost anything, but particularly pork.

5. North Carolina BBQ Chicken Sauce

Smoked and pulled chicken takes half the time of pulled pork and gives you the fixings for a great barbecue sandwich. This sauce finishes off barbecue chicken perfectly.

6. Jack Daniel's Rib Glaze

Use this barbecue sauce toward the end of cooking. You want the sauce to cook on the surface of the ribs, but you don't want it to burn.

7. Piedmont Barbecue Sauce

This is a classic Carolina style Barbecue Sauce. Typically, served on smoked pork (at the table), this thin, vinegar based sauce has tons of flavor.

8. Chinese Barbecue Sauce (Char Sui)

Traditional Chinese barbecue sauce doesn't contain tomatoes, but it does have a lot of flavor. This thick sauce works perfectly on any grilled or smoked foods, but like most barbecue sauces, can burn because of the sugar content, so use it only at the end of cooking.

9. Best Odds Pulled Pork Sauce

This is the sauce you add to a pulled pork after it has been smoked and pulled. It is best to combine it with the pork in a saucepan over low heat.

10. Alabama White Barbecue Sauce

This traditional Alabama Barbecue Sauce uses Mayonnaise as its base rather than tomato sauce, vinegar, or any of the other traditional barbecue sauce bases. Like many barbecue sauces you want to apply this only at the very end of your grilling or smoking. It will breakdown and seperate if it is heated too long. Use this sauce on chicken and turkey. It is also good on pork. Alabama White Barbecue Sauce has a tangy flavor that is a great addition to grilled foods.
