BBQ Sauces

BBQ sauces are flavorful condiments commonly used in grilling and barbecuing to enhance the taste of meats and vegetables. They come in various styles, often based on regional traditions, featuring a mix of ingredients like tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. These sauces can be sweet, tangy, smoky, or spicy, depending on their composition. Popular regional varieties include Kansas City sauce, known for its thick, sweet profile; Texas sauce, which is typically tomato-based and spicy; and vinegar-based sauces from the Carolinas. BBQ sauces can be applied during cooking (basting) or served on the side for dipping.
