Stubb's Bar-B-Q Sauce - Original Review

I like most barbecue sauces and switch around, because I've never found a bottled BBQ sauce that I really love. Now I've tried Stubb's Bar-B-Q sauce, and I must say that I won't be switching around all the time now. Stubb's really is a fabulous barbeque sauce.

Several years back I got some terrific barbecue sauce at a flea market in Murphy, North Carolina. The sauce dripped down on the homemade label, so I have not been able to find the sauce man again even with a trip back to Murphy and the flea market.

So, what does that have to do with Stubb's barbecue sauce?

Stubb's sauce is very similar to the home bottled sauce the guy sold in Murphy. It has a nice sweet taste followed by a spicy kick. I've never found that combination done well except the Murphy sauce and now Stubb's.

I couldn't believe it when I put Stubb's on some crock pot chicken. (Very easy. Put chicken in crock pot. Add favorite barbecue sauce. Dinner is done when you get home.) I figured it would be a decent dinner, but WOW! With the Stubb's barbecue sauce, this was some super chicken.

Stubb's is even better on the grill or smoker. Well, everything is better on the grill or smoker I say. But, this is a terrific brush on sauce. Just don't put it on at the beginning. You sauce during the last part, because sauce will burn if put on too early.

I do write on grilling and outdoor cooking (yes you can grill dot com) and play around with various rub and sauce recipes. Homemade is generally better (if you have time to make it), but I like Stubb's better than any of my mixes - so far.  

My youngest son does not care for much spice at all, and he did find the kick a little too much. If you really do not like much spice at all, then this may not be the sauce for you. But, otherwise, Stubb's is really fabulous. I try barbecue sauces from all over, and this is my favorite. I'm hungry just thinking about Stubb's.
