Heckin' Lot Of Sauce!

[Huskee]

Made chicken legs and boneless thighs tonight. Realized I have a heckin' lotta sauce, and this isn't even showing my 3 homemade sauces!

How many sauces do YOU have on hand?

[STEbbq]

I need to make some of Meathead’s South Carolina sauce…..

Just two on hand right now. Sweet Baby Rays as it is popular with the teenagers. We also have Terry Black’s BBQ sauce all of the way from Dallas which is awesome. I need to figure out how to reverse engineer it soon as well.

Ooh, did you mean all of my sauces? Ooh, crap.

Well, I might be a while.

[Bbqmikeg]

Dig me a saucy story!

[texastweeter]

Om like that with hotsauce

[shify]

Same. My fridge has one bottle of Stubbs from probably 2018 and about 20 bottles of hot sauce, all of which are used.

[Jerod Broussard]

Yeah, that's pretty much what it takes to make dark meat on chicken good.

I do like it grilled but it needs skin.

[rmeugene]

What?! The ONLY good thing about chicken is the dark meat!

[rickgregory]

You know what you need to do, right? Get a big bowl. Pour them ALL in. Whisk.

[Jerod Broussard]

My dad used to do that for a marinade, then he realized Kraft bbq sauce (or any regular bbq sauce) and Italian dressing were the only two ingredients he needed

[smokin fool]

My wife absolutely looses her sh_t when I do that.
I'd sound out the room first....

[Jfrosty27]

I counted 17 bottles on hand. Geez.

[Huskee]

We're in this together

[smokin fool]

Its like that around here people open the fridge door, do a slight glance, don't see what they want so immediately open a new bottle of whatever.
Then get indignent when I ask em if they're blind.

You know what you need to do, right? Get a big bowl. Pour them ALL in. Whisk.

This is exactly what I do when I get too many opened at once. Sometimes it’s great. It’s never bad.

Huskee has some stuff that won’t mix: the three BWW, and the honey mustard sauce, and the Frank’s. But the Meathead, Rufus Teague, Black Swan, and Kraft can all be condensed to one bottle. I can vouch for Meathead and Black Swan being a good combination.

Right now I have one opened bottle in the fridge that is about 50% Meat Mitch, 25% Melinda’s, and 25% all the other sauces I bought in the last 8 months or so. It’s a good all purpose sweet sauce that I use mostly on burgers.

[Huskee]

Agreed, the KC styles will all mix well. Might have to do that. The Kraft sweet brown sugar one was my dad's choice when we were shopping for fish camp that FireMan joined us on, not sure we even opened it there. It's on par with Sweet Baby Ray's, subtle differences but quite similar.

[Philotius]

Yep! Fridge doors full of sauce! about time to do a batch of wings. The kids and I love spinning a few wings in different sauces, mixing and matching. Lot of fun, and mostly delicious. My son just about killed me with some "Hey Dad, try this one" Honey Habanero the last time we did it.

I do need to get some of that BW's Asian Zing though, love that stuff.

[captainlee]

Nice collection. Just two here, homemade and Malcom's the bbq sauce. We have gotten a lot better about refrigerator inventory control and using up what we have first. I got mad one day when we filled the trash can up with old half finished stuff. As long as you are using them that s great.

[Clark]

captainlee I just 'cleaned house' by throwing out about 10 jars of rubs and 6 bottles of sauces. All were old, partially used, and not liked. My wife is on a diet so she isn't using any sauces, so I get to buy and use what I want.

[CHNeal]

Just one here right now, mine. When / if i run out we always experiment with a few but after I make another batch of mine they always end up at work for the guys to use for our Friday cooks ( Yep I keep a kettle at work).

[Finster]

This made me smile..
Makes me think maybe I'd like some of my coworkers better if we shared Friday BBQ on the regular..

[HawkerXP]

Only one?

[Andrrr]

I actually like that BW3 Parmesan garlic on leftover pulled pork.

[Old Glory]

Probably 8-10 or so bottles.

[Finster]

Never more than a few open at a time. We probably have 4 or 5 different mustards too. Quite a few different hot sauces in the cupboard as well...

[rlozinak]

Sweet baby rays for bbq sauce and Frank's hot sauce for the wings or anything else, such as hot dogs.

[tstalafuse]

Our 22cuft refrigerator is probably 3/4 or more full of sauces and condiments. We hardly have room for any actual food.
