The Best Ribs for Your BBQ Sauce

The Best Ribs for Your BBQ Sauce

When it comes to barbecue, there’s a whole lot of talk about sauce. Some people like to keep things simple with classic A.1; some people like to go for crazy Chocolate BBQ or super spicy sauces; other cooks skip the sauce all together and go for rubs.

But we got to thinking: why does the sauce get so much of the spotlight? Without great meat to pour it over, sauce is just… sort of… taste goo. The real question is not which sauce to add to your meat, but which meat to add to your sauce!

If you want great BBQ flavor, may we suggest you add Zaycon Fresh Meaty Back Pork Loin Ribs to the sauce of your choosing? Here’s why: our ribs are selected to have 20-30% more meat on ’em than a traditional rack, and every single rack we sell has at least 12 ribs on the slab. When you have that much delicious meatiness smoking on the grill or slow cooking in the oven, you’ll surely agree that the sauce doesn’t make the BBQ meal, the sauce just comes along for the ride!

That said… you also want to choose carefully when saucing up such superlative ribs. No one likes to be under dressed, right? Don’t worry, we’ve got some ideas for you.

Oh, and before we discuss a few of our favorite sauces (shocker, right? The folks here at Zaycon like BBQ cooking), here’s a quick tip: did you know that BBQ sauce tastes great on grilled or baked broccoli and asparagus? It’s a quick and easy way to add healthy greens to a meal that will blend seamlessly with the taste tableau.

Now, which sauce is right for those Meaty Back Ribs?

For classic BBQ flavor, get some:

Sluggo’s No. 11 BBQ Sauce - this award-winning sauce calls itself Chicago Style; we just call it delicious. It’s flavor hast notes of tomato, apple, brown sugar, and more. And by the way, it’s gluten free.

If you like some serious heat, try:

Pappy’s Moonshine Madness - this hot sauce is flavored using real Kentucky Bourbon (don’t worry, the booze is cooked out; the flavor hangs in) and spiced with chilies, pepper, onion, and more!

For something a little wild, how about:

Cattlemen’s Master’s Reserve Carolina Tangy Gold - this sauce has a deep golden hue thanks to the mustard seeds used on its recipe. You’ll also taste apple cider vinegar and plenty of smoke.
