Sticky flavor booster. Barbecue sauce is brushed or poured onto meat while it cooks on the grill to add amazing taste and help create a tasty, caramelized crust.

Many flavor styles. Different regions make their own versions, some spicy with hot peppers, some sweet with brown sugar or molasses, and some tangy with vinegar or mustard.

Works on many meats. While it's famous for pork ribs and beef brisket, barbecue sauce also makes chicken, turkey, and even vegetables taste incredible when grilled.

Southern tradition. Barbecue sauce is practically a religion in the American South, where families have secret recipes passed down for generations.

More than just grilling. People use barbecue sauce as a dipping sauce, a topping for pizza or nachos, and even as a glaze for baked beans and other side dishes.
