BBQ Sauce 101

Add a saucy finish to beef, poultry, pork, seafood and vegetables. More of a glaze, barbecue sauce adds a sweet and savory caramelized finish, and is often served on the side. The trick is to brush it on at the last minute – to avoid burning. A key element in barbecue competitions, sauce secrets are highly guarded and differ by region and meat. No time to simmer your own? Try one of Henry's Barbecue Sauces.

North Carolina
Vinegary and thin. Unlike sweet, tomato-based sauces, this dual-purpose sauce tenderizes during the cooking process without burning. It also adds a punch of flavor when squeezed over North Carolina’s meat of choice – pork.

South Carolina
Yellow, mustard-style sauce. Served with pork and barbecue hash.

Memphis
Tomato, vinegar and mustard-based sauce. Served on the side with slow-cooked, spice-rubbed ribs.

Texas
Big flavors from sweet and spicy tomato-based sauces and hot red pepper-based vinegar sauces give Texas-style brisket and ribs a kick of flavor.

Kansas City
Sweet, thick with slight heat and a punch of smoke. Perfect for ribs, chicken and vegetables.
