Rich’s classic gluten-free, dairy-free BBQ sauce has the perfect tang, a touch of heat, and tons of flavor. Years in the making, it’s great on ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork—even pizza. A few ingredients more than store-bought, but worth every one.
A barbecue sauce that has a great tang, a bit of heat, and tons of flavor? Yes, please!
Great for ribs, chicken, and brisket, but also use it for pizza, salmon, shrimp, burgers, pulled pork, and so much more. I have been perfecting this BBQ sauce for years, and even though there are quite a few ingredients, it really is quite easy to make.
You will also need my BBQ Rub Recipe and my Pizza Sauce Recipe for this sauce.
