- Marinade for ribs
- Glaze for chicken

This barbecue sauce can be applied directly to cooked meats during the last stages of grilling or smoking to create a delicious glaze. It also works wonderfully as a marinade, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat before cooking.

Its robust taste makes it suitable for both slow-cooked and quickly grilled items, adding a signature barbecue essence.

It typically contains a richer tomato base and a more pronounced sweetness, often balanced with molasses or brown sugar, and a distinct smoky undertone that sets it apart from simpler ketchup-based options.
