A great BBQ sauce recipe and why it is a good sauce to use in barbeque competitions.
This is another one of my favorite barbecue sauces because it’s a sauce that is great for barbeque competitions. You see, most people prefer a sweet barbeque sauce and competition judges are people too! When we first started cooking ribs for competition, this was one of the recipes we developed. You can substitute your favorite bourbon for the Wild Turkey. This sauce gives the ribs a real nice color… and the taste ain’t bad neither! This sauce is excellent to use with the professional rib cooking techniques found in our book, “Competition BBQ Secrets”…
Bourbon barbeque Sauce:
1/4 cup Wild Turkey Bourbon
2 cups ketchup
1 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Pineapple juice
3 teaspoon Molasses
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Salt
Mix all ingredients and simmer on stove until sauce thickens.
Imagine that you are a barbeque competition judge… tasting the same old barbeque sauce over and over again. The first thing the judges do is look at your ribs and give it a presentation score. Then they pick up a rib and tug on it to see how tender it is. Your rib meat should pull clean from the bone, but not fall off the bone. After that, they take a small bite and taste your ribs. Now what do you think will score higher… the same old BBQ sauce that they already tasted 100 times that morning, or something new that dances on their tongue and surprises them with a unique flavor that they have never tasted before?
Well… I think you know which of the BBQ sauces the judge will score higher – the unique one. The Wild Turkey sauce with apple cider and pineapple flavors. Your family and friends will love a unique barbecue sauce recipe too. KC Masterpiece is a great sauce, but don’t you think they have all tasted that before? Give them what they want… a BBQ sauce with a bold, unique flavor.
I also did a barbecue judge survey not too long ago (results at www.bbqsuccess.com) and one of the questions was “Speaking of sauces, do you prefer… A very sweet tomato based sauce? (4%), a miler combination of sweet and tangy? (25.6%), A milder combination of sweet and spicy? (41.7%), A spicy tomato based sauce? (10.8%), A mustard based sauce? (3.2%), A vinegar, salt, and pepper based sauce? (10%), or Other (4.7%). As you can see, it might help if you are a barbeque competitor to add a little hot sauce or pepper to the above recipe as barbeque judges prefer a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce over all others. If you are not a barbecue competitor and you are just trying to please yourself, your friends, or your family, then it is a good idea to study the results of my survey above too because as I said, barbecue judges are people too.

On the site Secret Copycat Restaurant Recipes we like to share our favorite recipes with you so that you can make your restaurant favorites at home anytime.
Here is one of my all time favorite restaurant recipes for you.
I love to go to Romano’s Macaroni Grill. I love the smell of the open fire grill as I open the front door, the sound of the singing waiters as I set down at my table, and all of the food that they bring me.
Unfortunately for me, that is ALWAYS the same dish. You see on my very first visit I tried the Pasta Milano and fell so deeply in love with it that I have not been able to order anything else. I try. It all looks so good. From the brick-oven-cooked BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Penne Rustica to the Seafood Linguine, from the Chicken Portobello to the Honey Balsamic Chicken I am dying to try it all.
And I make good plans to do so. I pour over the menu finally picking out Grilled Salmon or Chicken Marsala. I can already taste it.
But as soon as the waiter approaches — Bam! I point to the Pasta Milano. Oh well, at least I do always enjoy my dinner.
But recently I found something that should make my next trip a surprise to my friends. I found a recipe and started making the dish at home for myself. It is just as good at my home as it is at Romano’s (though I do miss the singing waiters).
Thanks to this copycat recipe my next trip — and yours – to Romano’s Macaroni Grill ought to follow a different script. We are now free to look over the wonderful menu and order one of the other dishes we have so often craved. I can hardly wait!
Should I get Chicken & Shrimp Scaloppine or Honey Balsamic Chicken or Sicilian Pizza…or…
