Without a good tasting BBQ sauce, any barbecue can be regarded as incomplete and for that reason there is a huge list of famous BBQ sauces.

There are plenty of popular brands that you can easily buy from the market and they all taste more or less the same. For some people, there is no better option available then a truly homemade BBQ sauce. Your homemade sauce may contain any ingredient of your choice and some of the basic flavors that you can either make at home or buy from the market consist of tangy flavor, sweet and sour, spicy and vinegary flavor.

The base is made with tomatoes originally, and then you can add further spices and ingredients to make it more personalized. You can include, mustard, hot sauce, chilies, herbs and different flavors. In some cases the base is made while utilizing ketchup instead of using fresh tomatoes, and its up to you whether you buy ketchup from the supermarket or make some of your own.

If you don't fancy making your own homemade sauce then you can easily buy them from the supermarket as the choice available to you is endless. One of the famous brands is Open Pit and its one of the cheapest brands available out there. It has a very thin consistency as compared to others and it tastes like a mixture of ketchup and hot sauce. It goes well with BBQ wings or fried nuggets.

The Shed is another brand preferred by many people however it is definitely not a cheap brand as others. You could either marinade your food while using this sauce or it might be consumed as a dip too. It is a mixture of distinctive flavors like vinegar, sugar and tomatoes.

Many people are aware of Kraft Original and its definitely worth trying. The most prominent flavor is the smokiness of the sauce with a slight hint of sweetness. It has a very thick consistency which makes it an ideal choice to use it as marinade for your meats. The smoky and spicy flavor goes well with fried food as well as chips and roasts.

Hunt's Original is loved by those who love the ketchupy and sweet flavor of this sauce.
