Our take on the Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce, 28 oz.

Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar is a thick, tomato-based barbecue sauce built on molasses and brown sugar with added hickory smoke flavor. It leans sweet first, with smoke and a mild tang behind it, and pours thick enough to cling to ribs, wings and grilled chicken. It suits cooks who want a crowd-pleasing, sweet-smoky sauce straight from the bottle rather than a thin, vinegar-forward Carolina style. Against hotter or mustard-based sauces it trades heat and sharpness for broad appeal, and it is one of the most widely stocked supermarket barbecue sauces.

Questions and answers

Is this sauce very sweet?
Yes. Brown sugar and molasses lead, with smoke and mild tang behind. If you want a vinegar-forward or spicy sauce, look elsewhere.
Can I use it as a marinade?
Yes, but its sugar burns over high direct heat. Marinate for flavor, then glaze in the last few minutes of grilling over medium heat.
How does it differ from Sweet Baby Ray's Original?
It adds hickory smoke and brown sugar on top of the sweet tomato-molasses base, so it tastes smokier and a touch sweeter.
Is it spicy?
No. It has little to no heat, which makes it easy to serve to a mixed crowd.
What can I use it on besides meat?
It works on grilled vegetables, burgers, fries and as a dipping sauce, though the thick sweetness can overwhelm delicate vegetables.
