How people cook with it
This sauce is perfect for adding a smoky, sweet kick to a variety of dishes.
- Dipping chicken wings
- Glazing ribs
- Sauce for pulled pork sandwiches
- Drizzling over grilled corn
You can use this sauce straight from the bottle as a dip for appetizers like chicken tenders, onion rings, or mozzarella sticks. For a more integrated flavor, it works wonderfully as a glaze. Brush it onto ribs or chicken during the last few minutes of grilling or baking to allow it to caramelize. It can also be stirred into pulled pork or shredded chicken for an instant barbecue flavor boost. For sandwiches, a generous drizzle adds moisture and a signature smoky taste. It’s also excellent as a finishing sauce for burgers or as a flavorful addition to baked beans.

This sauce aims to replicate that signature balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy notes, distinguishing it from thinner, more vinegary Carolina-style sauces or spicier Texas varieties.
