My Competition-Style BBQ Sauce Recipe

This is my recipe for my sweet and spicy barbecue sauce that I use at competition bbq cooks. Plus, it makes a great base to start your own BBQ sauce.

You can make this recipe and then add a few more ingredients to make it your own... or you can use it as-is (that's what I do)!

  • pork ribs getting a final coating of comeptition bbq sauce16 oz Tomato Sauce
  • 16 oz Ketchup
  • 12 oz Chili Sauce
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 TBS Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Dry Rub
  • 1 TBS Hot Sauce

In a large pot combine the above ingredients over medium heat. 

Be sure to stir really well to incorporate the brown sugar and dry spices. 

Simmer for 30 minutes and stir often. 

I use this recipe for BBQ Ribs, BBQ Chicken and Pork Butt or Pork Shoulder at all the BBQ contests I cook. And it's really great for pulled pork at home!
