Answer 1

Gates BBQ in Kansas City has the best sauce I've ever had. People travel from all over the country to have Gates BBQ. They have an online store -- it is totally worth it. http://www.gatesbbq.com/store.html

I like the Extra Hot, but all sauces are excellent. Good luck!

Answer 2

Dinosaur. I'm not sure if it's available nationwide, but it's the best bottled sauce I ever had. Marinate the meat overnight in the fridge. Some folks also use a rub. I love BBQ ribs, both pork and beef, cooked slowly. When the meat practically falls off the bone, they're just right!

Answer 3

Homemade

Try ketchup: 1 cup
Liquid smoke: 2 tablespoons
Vinegar: 1/4 cup
Brown sugar: 1/4 cup
Yellow mustard: 3 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce: 4 teaspoons.

Put all ingredients in small sauce pan and simmer over very low flame for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to merge, the result, the best BBQ sauce that you have ever tasted, you can add variations and delete as you please, this is the basic recipe. Happy cooking!

You can make steak sauce too, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup, tastes just like A1 steak sauce.

Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. I find i get the best flavor when I Marinate it over night and but in little fork holes or knife holes after i put the BBQ sauce on the meat...Also keep some extra so you can brush it on when cooking. One thing my father tried was he did rotisserie style chicken on the BBQ and rubbed it down with Montreal steak seasoning it came out really good. Basics for a BBQ are chicken, hot dogs , hamburgers, steak, pork chops, Also for side dishes potato salad, Marconi salad chips..

Baby Rae's BBQ sauce is pretty good. They have it in Honey & regular. Thats all I know about it though. My husband does all of the grilling out - I'm not even aloud to touch the meet or grill until it's done cooking. I hope you find some good recipes and stuff though! Have a great night.

- I marinate my chicken over night when I am baking it.

Answer 6

Depends on your taste. I personally prefer a spicy, savory sauce over a sweet one. The best I ever had was the sauce my stepdad used to make himself. For one of these type sauces try Texas Pete or Mrs. Griffins. You dont have to marinate with barbecue sauce, just brush it on while cooking and put the bottle on the table so every one can add more if they like.

Answer 7

To tell you the truth, your own, just take a bottle of Master Piece, add Brown Sugar, 1/2 cp of Honey, Dice Onions, 1/2 tsp Mustard, and if you have some Red Hot Peppers, dice or crush, add just a 1/3 tsp for a little kick, place all ingredients in a souce pot, medium heat, stir as cooking so if will not stick, until favor comes togather, try not to add to much Brown Sugar, just a 1/2 cp. Please then add small amounts as needed. You want it thick. This is the best, your own.

Answer 8

marinate in dale's seasoning, its similar to worcestershire sauce but with lots more spices then grill it then let the meat sit for about 10 minutes before using williamson's brothers (regional - georgia) or kc masterpiece original and add ketchup, brown sugar and garlic powder to it, stir then coat the meat with it. maybe even put different sauces on the side so your guests can pick and choose.

Answer 9

Sweet Baby Ray's with a little Red Hot mixed in is my favorite bbq sauce.
You need pasta salad, beans, corn on the cob, veggie tray and watermelon...brownies, chips and chilled beverages!

Have fun!

Answer 10

Cattleman's, Sweet Baby Ray's (Honey). I usually marinate meat for 24 hours to get more flavor. Italian dressing for chicken works great or Kikkoman Teriyaki Bast & Glaze.
