This can be a store-bought brand or a recipe for homemade. What is your favorite sauce? I've made some darn good homemade but always fail to make notes and wing it. Sometimes it isn't so hot. I'd say KC Masterpiece is probably our go-to sauce, but it is not must-have.

This one we use on beef ribs and such: 1 c. chopped onion 1/4 c. salad oil 1/4 c. brown sugar 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce 1/2 c. water 1/4 c. catsup 2 tbsp. dry mustard 1/4 c. lemon juice 3 tbsp. Worcestershire 2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. liquid smoke Cook onions and oil in skillet first and then add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer the sauce for 20 to 30 minutes and pour over your favorite meat to barbeque.
This is one we use on chicken: 1 c. mayonnaise (not "Miracle Whip") 1/4 c. white vinegar Juice of 3 lemons 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. black pepper
Mix all ingredients together well. In saucepan heat on low stirring constantly until well blended (wire whip is helpful to mix well). Just heat long enough for mayonnaise to melt and not be too lumpy.
Baste chicken breasts (or other parts of chicken, if desired) well. Grill and baste frequently. Some people like sauce to add additional at table. This will do 4 whole boneless chicken breasts.

Costco sells a two-pack of raspberry chipotle sauce. (I cannot recall the name of the brand.) It is REALLY good. It does burn easily, so it needs to be applied to grilled meat close to the time cooking will be finished. It tastes great with chicken and beef, but I especially like it with pork.

A good marinade for chicken or beef is equal parts of fresh lemon juice and soy sauce. Nothing else is needed. If marinated over night, a slightly tough cut of beef will be nicely tenderized.

My favorite is from an apple orchard called Fly Creek. It's their 1856 BBQ sauce. Another favorite that is also local (ish) is Dinosaur BBQ sauce. Yum!

I made a couple of gallons of fig barbeque sauce yesterday. Spicey and sweet and perfect with pork. Got to hot pack it today.

It ended up being exactly 4 quarts. That is what 1/2 gallon of figs will make and is about as much as you can easily process at a time without a stick immersion blender. Next time I'll put it up in pint jars. I used it on pork tenderloins Sunday, cooked in the oven as I didn't have my Green Egg with me or even a lousy Weber.

One of the more interesting (and simple) Chicken sauces for Chicken (bone in) from the 4-H Hillsboro (NH) fair,
1 Lb salted butter, 2 cups water, 1 Tea spoon white pepper, Apply with a sprayer. Cooked over charcoal from a deep pit, all the chickens were splayed on racks. As in cut in half and each rack held a dozen half-chickens.
As simple as this spray sounds it made a suprisingly tastey grilled chicken. With no 'mopping', which made local board of health happy...

My son has gluten allergies so we have to be very careful about the food we buy- BBQ sauce included. The one brand we can always count on to be gluten free is Sweet Baby Rays and while I like it okay, I feel like it needs something so I always add fresh minced garlic, merichino cherry juice, and some dried oregano. Simmer for about 15 minutes so all the flavors mix nicely and it's ready to go. Super yummy!

Kentucky, I make my own bbq sauce using figs. Sweet Baby Rays has high fructose corn syrup so I don't use it. I did find some store bought sauce called Bone Sucking sauce that doesn't have corn syrup but it does have a very small amount of corn starch.

corn is fine- even though it has gluten, it's a different kind of gluten- I might look into the Bone sucking sauce, thanks

I think I have tried hundreds of brands of BBQ sauce and tasted lots of homemades and I always seem to go back to a midwest regional BBQ sauce called 'Cookies' made in Wall Lake, Iowa. They have won national awards and outsell all others in the middle of the country.
