Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipes: 3 Quick and Easy Ideas


If you're looking for something different at your next BBQ or grill-up, then a homemade BBQ sauce recipe is something you'll want to try.

Good BBQ sauce recipes are worth their weight in gold, but are often closely-guarded chef's secrets.

As the popularity of cooking has increased over the past 10 years -thanks to celebrity chef-type TV shows, many people are seeking inspiration for their menus from the internet, books and TV. Cooking and social events to eat or celebrate food are now hugely popular with many people.

Of all these social events, BBQs are one of the most popular forms of social gathering in many parts of the world.

They allow for a variety of meats and side dishes to be cooked creatively and enjoyed in a relaxed manner, which is why sauce and marinade recipes are in such hot demand.

Adding a spicy or gourmet sauce to the menu is a great way to add something special to your next gathering with friends and family.

Think BBQ sauce is just about something sweet and tomato based? Think again!

There are many recipes that are based on vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and even soy and Hoisin sauces.

No matter whether you're frying, grilling or even baking meat, or need a tasty dipping sauce, then a homemade recipe is a great choice.

What's more, many recipes are quick and easy to make in advance. Some can be frozen or kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, so you won't find yourself have to be stuck in the kitchen while family and friends are socializing outside.

BBQ sauce can be used not only as a traditional pour-on sauce for cooked meat, but also as a basting aide when cooking, or as a marinade. The main thing to remember is that the best sauce always starts with a great recipe!

BBQ Sauce Recipes - Fast, Easy, and Tasty!

There are many BBQ sauce recipes that are very simple to follow and understand.

Depending on the specific recipe, you will often start by cooking garlic or onions in a frying pan or heavy saucepan with oil. After this, blends of sauce such as Worcestershire, tomato ketchup, spices, brown sugar, mustard or vinegar are added.

This is often simmered over a low heat, allowed to thicken and then cooled to room temperature.

Homemade BBQ sauce really is that easy!

How to Use as a Marinade

You can also use BBQ sauce as a marinade for meats. This is best done for at least 2 hours, and preferably overnight barbequing.

Allowing the meat to marinate overnight gives the it plenty of time to absorb all of the flavors of the BBQ sauce or marinade.

After giving the meat enough time to absorb the spices, heat up your barbeque, and then place your meat onto the barbeque to start the cooking process.

How to Use as a Baste

If you're using a homemade recipe as a baste, use a mop (a piece of clean cloth, such as a tea-towel) to dab the sauce onto the meat.

Start by 'mopping' the sauce onto the meat before you place it on the barbecue to cook.

Each time you turn the meat, baste the top side with the mop and sauce. Repeat the process until the meat is cooked and tender.

Keep in mind that small cuts like chicken wings may only take a few minutes to cook.

Since BBQ sauce is very popular at parties with friends and family, make sure to have plenty available for your guests to eat.
