Discount & Bargain
No matter whether you make your own or use one of the storebought BBQ sauces, avoid sauces with high sugar content. The sugar burns at high temperatures and can ruin the taste of your meat. To combat this, wait until about 10-15 minutes before the meat is done before applying the barbecue sauce. There are some very tasty storebought BBQ sauces out there, so don't think that you absolutely have to use homemade sauce for a delicious BBQ.
If you do want to make your own BBQ sauce from scratch, there are a number of recipes you can find online or in cookbooks. Most sauces start with the base ingredients of chili powder, salt, pepper, sugar, and melted butter. You can add other ingredients as you wish, such as onion powder, lemon juice, or Worcestershire sauce. Hickory or mesquite flavoring is another way to customize your BBQ sauce to get the exact right flavor for your meal. Whichever sauce you choose, use it sparingly and don't overpower the taste of the meat. BBQ sauce is supposed to bring out the meat's flavor, not drown it.
