Experimenting with Barbecue Sauces

Barbecue sauces tend to vary by region in the United States, though most Americans are likely familiar with the Kentucky style barbecue sauce. Most barbecue sauces contain some vinegar and some form of pepper. The Carolina style usually includes yellow mustard, a habit lent from German heritage.

In my first barbecue sauce experiment, I decided to try 4 flavors:

• a soy-based, Asian-esque barbecue sauce
• a hot wings style sauce
• a mostly vinegar sauce
• fire or extra hot sauce
