The World’s Best BBQ Sauces

Today’s post is a little different….a little tangier. While it’s what’s known as a sponsored review - I absolutely mean every word of it. I swear on my coffee maker (Y’all know that’s serious!)

I happen to live in the BBQ capital of the world - Owensboro, Kentucky - so I have a serious love of BBQ. In fact, sometimes I think those of us living (and eating) here have BBQ sauce running through our veins instead of blood.

There’s a special club that’s custom-designed for all BBQ lovers, whether they live in Owensboro, Kentucky… Mansfield, Ohio…Fort Dodge, Iowa….Pensacola, Florida…Toronto, etc. It’s the BBQ Sauce of the Month Club and my mouth is watering just from typing the words.

Here’s how it works: Each month, the BBQ sauce lovers at the club sample original, exciting BBQ sauces from world-renowned top chefs as well as from BBQ festivals all over the country. (I’d be willing to bet that the best of the best come from these festivals. Talk about AMAZING sauces!) Then the Club’s experts take the sauces that stand out as extraordinary and make them Sauces of the Month. In addition to the BBQ Sauce of the Month Club, they also offer a BBQ Sauce of the Season Club. In the seasonal club, you’re sent BBQ Sauce each spring, summer, fall, and winter. (I know I’d want more than that!) You can also sign up for a 3 or 6 month plan

Here’s what all you receive when you sign up:

• 2 varieties of gourmet BBQ sauce every month!
• BBQ lover’s newsletter with every shipment!
• FREE SHIPPING every month!
• Personalized gift announcement!
• 100% satisfaction guaranteed!
• Hassle Free - Our gourmets choose all monthly selections!

Kentucky’s Best BBQ Chicken

BBQ Sauce of the Month Selection (1 of the 2 bottles)
8 chicken breasts or 8 chicken leg quarters or a combination of the two
salt and pepper

Pour the sauce into a saucepan and heat. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper the chicken, then place it skin side up on a grill rack. This seals in the juices, and I can’t tell you how important that is. I’d rather eat carpet —cheap, dirty carpet — than a dry bird.

Grill until a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees, between 5 and 10 minutes. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, you should pick one up today. It takes all the guesswork out of your hands and the fork-pokes out of your chicken (again, it’s a juice thing). As your chicken’s cooking, turn the pieces frequently with tongs to prevent burning, and baste frequently with the sauce. Why tongs? Forks will just lead to a loss of…you guessed it, juices.

As always when grilling, keep a spray bottle filled with water handy to use when a flame flares up.

Yield: 8 servings

By the way, don’t let winter stop you from firing up the grill. Throw your coat on, pull your knit cap down over your ears and fire it up! Of course, for those of you who get a lot of snow and won’t see your grill until March - placing a chicken in a Crock Pot and covering it with BBQ Sauce works wonders. Easy and delicious.

Now that you’re all set and ready for the best BBQ chicken in the world - head over to the BBQ Sauce of the Month Club and make it happen! You might want to do a little original and creative Christmas shopping while there. When you give someone a gift like this, they think about you everytime they use it. In this situation, you’re guaranteed to be on their mind year round.
