Bitton BBQ Sauce
Bitton are masters of homemade-style jams, dressings, dips and spreads, but their barbecue sauce is far from traditional. The addition of chilli, ginger and citrus bring piquant notes to this spice-infused dressing, and make it an ideal match for barbecue prawns.

Bone Suckin’ Sauce Thicker Style
Phil Ford fashioned this rich barbecue sauce back in 1987, after attempting to recreate his mother’s traditional recipe. True to its name Bone Suckin’ Thicker Style is a dense, southern-style condiment, with hints of mustard and apple cider vinegar. With its sticky texture, it’s a foolproof marinade for chicken wings.

Horseshoe Brand Original Barbecue Sauce
This chutney-like condiment is not your average barbecue sauce; it’s an earthy, umami-rich sauce, with the addition of vinegar bringing tangy after-notes. The combination of chipotle, cayenne pepper and salt provides an extra kick of heat.
