Anyone have a good recipe for bbq sauce? My husband has been asking for bbq chicken for awhile, my problem is I don't like the amount of sugar in store bought ones. We like a sweeter sauce we just don't want all the sugar, any ideas?

    I thought you were goinig to have one to share! I am planning on doing pulled pork for the superbowl, but I know my favorite Sweet Baby Rays Sauce is not the best calorie wise.

    Here ya go! I haven't tried this personally, but remembered a WW leader talking about how good it is!

    2 cups ketchup
    2 cups diet coke
    minced garlic (to taste)
    diced onion (to taste)


    Let me know if you try it! :)

    Maybe check out allrecipes.com? I need to find one too, but I can't pry my BF's fingers off his Sweet Baby Rays! I've started just eating my pulled pork without BBQ sauce and letting him put his on separately.

    Edit: This looks like it might be worth trying: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Big-Als-KC-Bar-B-Q-Sauce/Detail.aspx

    2 cups ketchup
    2 cups diet coke
    minced garlic (to taste)
    diced onion (to taste)

    If you need more, it is basically equal parts of both Ketchup and Diet Coke. It doesn't sound good but it really is.

    I haven't found a low sugar option but I usually water mine down (or just use half of what I used to) especially for crock pot pulled pork. Then I serve it as a condiment on the side for thoses that want a more sticky kick. Sweet baby ray's is my favorite.

    I know Hungry Girl has one, I just can't seem to find it. I have made it before and really liked it.

    Here's my favorite one (not spicy at all but yummy!)

    1/4 cup ketchup
    1/4 cup molasses (Blackstrapp is the best!)
    1 tsp soy sauce (I use Liquid Aminos)
    1 tsp mustard
    1/2 tsp garlic powder

    Makes enough for 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

    Bump... I am going to make this for superbowl. I just need to decide on what sort of meat to smoke... ribs or Boston butt.

    I make my own simple sauce for pulled pork. We just made it tonight for dinner. It is simply aproximately 1 cup ketchup and 1/2 cup brown sugar and a dash of vinegar. If the sugar content is an issue, you could use the artifical brown sugar sweetener. I once made regular hamburger BBQ for my diabetic father with the artificial brown sugar and it was super sweet. He likes his BBQ more tangy than sweet, so I was told this was too sweet. :-)

    I honestly just squirt the ketchup, so I am just guessing with the 1 cup.
