    This BBQ sauce is the bomb!! I didn't plan well enough to marinate the chicken, just used the sauce as a brush on during grilling. Fantastic! As usual, Ina's recipe is fabulous and we will keep some on hand this summer. Good enough to be a "secret recipe" but I have a big mouth. Thanks, Ina!

    I have no idea what the hype is all about with this sauce. It's so tangy. Ugh! I've added brown sugar and molasses and it's almost edible. Another Ina disappointment!

    This barbecue sauce/marinade is AMAZING! I made it for a company party and grilled for 30 people (I made 6 quarts. Everyone loved it. You almost want to drink this stuff straight it is SOOOOO good. Once again, Ina is MAGIC!

    Holy Cow. For years I've been making a bbq sauce from an old Williams Sonoma grilling cookbook. I've kicked that recipe up a little over the years, however, after making THIS sauce, it will now become my go to recipe. We put it on chicken last night, and put it on baby back ribs tonight, and we're going to find a way to marinate a flank steak with it tomorrow.
    We have a gas grill, not charcoal, and the taste was AMAZING. No need to change anything.
    As with all of Ina's recipes, it was easy, the measurements were perfect, and it just tasted wonderful.

    For me, bbq is only hickory or mesquite. Chili powder and cumin don't work for me. otherwise, this is a great recipe. Ina is the best cake maker in the world and that is not an exaggeration.

    I was interested in making this sauce because of the ingredients. It did have complex flavors but we didn't care for it. I would agree with other reviews to cut back on the vinegar. I would also decrease the honey, possibly the Worcestershire sauce as well.

    I made this recipe for a get together with friends but instead of grilling it we cooked it in the oven. Came out great. Have made the sauce numerous times but since it make quite a bit I freeze the sauce and it still comes out like I just made it. I love Ina's recipes they are easy wihtout a lot of strange ingredients that you can not find at your local grocery store.

    I was so pleased that I found this recipe because I had been looking for a bbq sauce to cook up a pound of country style ribs that I bought. I made two recipes for bbq sauce from two other great chefs on this site but found that the taste of ketchup was too overpowering, even though the recipes were solid and I'm sure delicious. I just prefer a less tomato based sauce. I turned to Ina's next and the mix of flavors she has in her version brings complexity and a unique flavor. In her recipe, I left out the Hoisin sauce and the pepper flakes and held off on the tomato paste to test at the end. The result was a phenomenal country style ribs meal in my slow cooker. I put a ladle of her sauce at the bottom of the pot, then added half a large yellow onion cut in 1/4 inch rings, then the ribs and rest of the sauce. Six hours later on the low setting of my crock pot , I added 1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste for richness. I let it cook for 1 hour later and the ribs were cut-with-a-fork delicious. My boyfriend said it was the best barbque sauce and I finally have found a sauce that perfectly matches my personal taste. Ina brings great foundation to her recipes and always gives me a starting point. Thanks so much for helping me create a phenomenal meal.

    I love Ina's recipes. This chicken was made even easier by using Ina's bottled BBQ sauce. YUM! My husband has requested it over and over again. During the winter months I roast it in the oven smothered in Ina's sauce. Easy and delicious!
