What the best over the counter BBQ sauce you ever ate ?

[forktender]

Whether it was bought at a local super market or a speciality BBQ store.

For me it's a toss up between Head County Org. & Cow Town Org.

Let's hear it !

I am a HUGE Bone Suckin Sauce (HOT) fan

Most of the top sauces i have eaten are not commercial sauces.

The home cook has a great advantage as they don't have to figure time  & exspense of ingrediants vs profit margin.

That said , bone suckin , jack millers and stubbs in that order

Stubbs is about it.

Head Country... FTW.

I know folks all over the country that have it shipped to them from Ponca City.  And I don't blame them. lol

I also use their Championship Seasoning on everything I put on a grill....

In Texas we have a local grocery chain called HEB they carry a line of signature sauces that all good.  Best sauce I ever had that was not made at my house is this stuff https://www.kentrathbunstore.com/in...&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=6 I still prefer my sauce but this is a close second.

The best I have had is J.L. Jardines (think that are the initials) from Texas, Texas Pecan sauce.

Butt my sauce taste does change from the meat, a mustard sauce for pulled pork, ribs spicy if any, chix thick and spicy, brisket a thin sauce if any.

If you wan to try some of the best BBQ sauce I would recommend curley's hickory bbq sauce from Kansas.... nothing compares in my book....

Smokey Jon's BBQ sauce.  Nice and sweet, vinagery, and chunks of onion.  Wish I could duplicate his ribs so I could save a few bucks.......

Until recently I'd never bought a sauce, except for buying a gallon or so for bigger parties from my fave local joint (sadly out of business), but hearing folks talk about some here on the forum got me curious. The best I've found so far is a local guy here in Western WA, Biff's BBQ Sauce. It has a nice spiciness and isn't too sweet, it's a little thick but not too sticky. It makes a good shortcut for me to doctor it up if I don't want to make my own.

When I gotta buy it either Stubbs or Baby Rays

Here in KC theres as many sauces as there are BBQ joints and then some. Picking the best sauce is an impossible task. I like Gates original on chicken,pork steak and CSRs. On brisket I like smokehouse. Both are local sauces. SBRs and Curllys are both good sauces. Have not tried Stubbs as of yet and some of the sauces mentioned I've not heard of like yall prolly have'nt heard of ones that I have mentioned. So many sauces,so many tastes.

I agree, picking the best sauce is impossible..... I use different bbq sauces for different applications and different tastes....although I find more sauces that I dont like than I do like.......

For commercial, Sweet Baby Rays (tweaked), so far but I am not that worldly.

My favorite has been some of my own recipes

Bone sucking sauce

I like Bone Sucking Sauce as well.

I liked Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet and their Memphis Original when I used to buy BBQ sauce all of the time trying to find a good one. I am glad I started making my own because I would buy every sauce that hit the market only to throw them away after I tasted it. Now I just make a sauce for every occasion and haven't bought sauce in more then 7 years. Now I am working on bottling a couple that I have perfected (since people buy it from me all of the time anyway).
