No matter what you do, you want a great BBQ sauce to cover your favourite ribs or chicken wings. The best BBQ sauce must be thick and sticky so it holds to the meat. While most of these sauces are tomato based, there’s a lot of variation among them.
Remember that any sauce that contains sugars will burn at temperatures above 75˚C (265˚F). If you are cooking at temperatures above this, cook your meat before applying the sauce. It will prevent from burning.
BBQ season on the Wild Atlantic Way is around the corner so stop wasting your time and get yourself the best BBQ sauce to enjoy the fest.
