The Underrated Barbecue Sauce That's Absolutely Worth The Money
When it comes to distinctive culinary methods, Americans are no strangers to barbecue.
What makes barbecue so unique in the U.S. is the sauce, and while sweet barbecue sauce may reign supreme, there are plenty of others out there to titillate virtually every palate.
As a professional chef, I often tend to gravitate toward the more unusual, underrated barbecue sauces for dousing my ribs or brisket.
These are often the ones that are less likely to be found on grocery store shelves, but have that "je ne sais quoi" that keeps me coming back for more.
I taste tested this sauce as-is, drizzled on crackers, and basted onto a boneless chicken breast, which had a mild enough flavor to really benefit from a quality barbecue sauce.
This sauce shone in all three instances, being simultaneously complementary while not losing its bold flavor.
The aroma of this sauce was distinctly vinegar-forward, with notes of black pepper tickling your nostrils as you inhale. The sauce itself had a relatively thick texture that was great for dipping or basting.
