Barbecue Sauce

Barbecue sauce is a thick, aromatic sauce originating from the United States, traditionally used when grilling meat. Its flavour is typically sweet and tangy with a smoky undertone, the base usually consists of tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and various spices. It is used as a marinade, a glaze during roasting, or as a dipping sauce for meat, chicken wings, ribs, and vegetables. There are many regional variations, from bold smoky Texan styles to sweeter Kansas City versions. It can be bought ready-made or prepared at home to personal taste.
