This sauce is a bit different from other barbecue sauces as it contains a blend of spices, different types of sugars, red wine vinegar, and liquid smoke. It's perfect for grilling chicken, ribs, pork, and beef. Using Truvia® Natural Sweetener instead of sugar reduces calories and makes it a healthier option.
