Voted Best Baste on the Planet. We Didn't Name It That — They Did.
Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce is a thick, gourmet sauce made from all-natural ingredients that sticks to your meat and delivers sweet flavour with just the right amount of heat. It's not just popular — it was voted "Best Baste on the Planet" and People's Choice at the prestigious American Royal BBQ competition. This half-gallon jug means you won't run out mid-season.
What makes it special:
Blues Hog Original is the sauce that put the brand on the map. It's thick enough to coat and cling to ribs without sliding off, sweet enough to satisfy, and has a gentle heat that keeps it interesting without overwhelming. Competition pitmasters across North America reach for this sauce when they need results — and it delivers every time.
