Right after I made the last batch of BBQ Spice Rub, I made a batch of BBQ Sauce! This is another one of those things that is so easy to put together I bet you will start making your version.
There are a bunch of different types of BBQ Sauce, Eastern North Carolina Vinegar Sauce, Piedmont or Lexington-Style Dip, South Carolina-Style Mustard Sauce, Texas-Style Mop or Basting Sauce, Kansas City-Style Sauce, and Alabama White Sauce. There are probably others, so please don’t angry type me if I missed one of your favorites.
My favorite and probably the most popular in grocery stores is the Kansas City-Style sauce. What’s not to love? It’s sweet and spicy, thick and delicious. It’s perfect for ribs, chicken, or pork butt. I hope you will make this recipe and see how easy it is to make your own sauce. It won’t have all the additives the store brands have. Best of all, you can tweak it to your liking.
