“This is pure eastern North Carolina BBQ Sauce at its best. Primarily used for saucing up that perfect pig at the family and friends pig pickin', this recipe can be used for other bbq favorites. With a twist of honey, this sauce is awesome on bbq chicken and pork chops as well. Enjoy!!” - by JBIRDHEAD

"Here's the deal -- there's WAAAY to much salt, red pepper, and black pepper in the recipe. Almost like it was a misprint?? Anyway, I used 1/2 the amount of red pepper and 1/4 amount of salt & black ..." See morepepper. Great sauce, very sweet/salty/vinegery, I live in NC and this is just like the vinegary based sauces I like."

"I reduced the servings in half and then used Catalina salad dressing in place of the ketchup. Sweetened up and took some bite out of the pepper that way. It was really good on chicken...." See more"
