Sweet Baby Ray's Original is a thick, sweet tomato-based barbecue sauce with a tangy finish, sold in a 40 oz squeeze bottle. It is the flagship of a Chicago-born brand whose family recipe won a rib competition in 1985, and it remains one of the best-selling sauces in the US. It suits people who want a sweet, mild all-purpose sauce for ribs, chicken, burgers and fries rather than a smoky, spicy or vinegar-forward style. Against mustard- and vinegar-based rivals it is sweeter and thicker; against craft sauces it is milder and less complex, but it is consistent and crowd-pleasing.
