Food and Drink Carolina style BBQ sauce is soooooo good!!! - Page 2

Saccopoo · 10-26-2009, 08:03 PM

So I decided to put my Carolina style BBQ sauce to the test and had some family over last night for guinea pig duty. Grilled up a bunch of chicken on the Weber Genesis 320 (which is and has been a marvelous propane grill - I highly recommend it), made some potato salad (using from scratch french dressing for the marinade) some of my pickles from last years garden and a loaf of sourdough bread. (Had to purchase that as I was out of sourdough starter.)

Seasoned the chicken with a little salt, pepper, ground thyme and paprika. Cooked the chicken under indirect heat for approximately one hour, applying the sauce the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, turning once during that time to coat both sides.

It was frickin' awesome. While I know that there are some KC style BBQ sauce purists around here, I strongly suggest that you give this sauce a whirl if you're grilling up some chicken, pork shoulder and fish (it's really great on heavier/denser fish like swordfish, mako shark, cobia and the like). I usually just buy a bottle when I'm down in Hilton Head for the family vacation (when in Rome...) and use it when I'm grilling chicken and fish. Decided that I could probably make some that appealed to my tastes a bit better than the store bought stuff. At least to me, it's much, much better. And it's easy as heck to make.

Here's the recipe:

1 c. prepared yellow mustard
¼ c. granulated sugar
¼ c. molasses
¼ c. honey
3/4 c. cider vinegar
1 T. white vinegar
1 T. balsamic vinegar
¼ c. light lager beer
1 T. vegetable oil
½ T. key lime juice
¼ t. hot sauce
¼ t. ground thyme
¼ t. white pepper
¼ t. fine ground black pepper
pinch of ground cayenne pepper

Mix and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 20/25 minutes.

I love a good vinegar based sauce. I really do not like molasses base sauces at all, I know I know it's Kansas City. I don't like it

I'm not a KC-style "purist". I enjoy dry, Memphis-style, the thin red sauces... apparently I'm a "good BBQ" purist.

And in my judging endeavors over the past 18 months in South Carolina, I've had the "best SC has to offer," and truly, it was mediocre at best.

It's commonly assumed that all BBQ sauce served in the Carolinas is mustard and vinegar based. There seems to be a dividing line somewhere in the middle of North Carolina. Everywhere east of the line and down into the low country of South Carolina likes mustard and vinegar, everywhere west of the line loves sweet and spicy tomatoe based BBQ sauce. I live west of Charlotte and BBQ is big around here, you can get mustard and vinegar sauces if you ask but the red sweet and spicy sauce is much more popular.

Carolina and Vagina rhyme because they are both sour and babies come out of them

**gblowfish** · 10-27-2009, 08:44 AM

I have a Weber Genesis gas grill. It is a very nice grill. I like to do BBQed shrimp with Gates sauce. Quick and yummy!

From a man whose state has no good BBQ but is fairly well traveled I would have to go with KC BBQ in a heartbeat over anything else I've ever tasted.

And I'm a man who can appreciate a good BBQ.

blaise · 10-27-2009, 09:08 AM

I prefer Carolina style, but that's maybe because I like pulled pork best.

KCUnited · 10-27-2009, 09:09 AM

I like a Carolina sauce on pork. Chicken and Beef gots to be KC. Fish, I like the thought of a Carolina sauce, I'll try it.
