For those that just can’t get enough spicy Sriracha sauce, incorporating it into something tasty for barbecue opens up a bunch of spicy eating fun. There’s a little sweet and a touch of tang in this Sriracha BBQ sauce. Brown sugar and honey pair with ketchup and lime juice in delicious ways. And it’s all tied together with the garlicky spiciness that the rooster sauce is known for (plus plenty of additional garlic.)
Use this fiery sauce as a marinade for barbecue ribs and pork. Or simply put it on the side and use it as a dipper for chicken fingers and non-spiced beef satay. It’s also really good as a BBQ sauce base for spicy pulled pork or as a unique condiment for a burger.
Just note the garlic level here. As mentioned, there’s quite a bit of garlic in this sauce. If your meat is pre-seasoned with garlic, this Sriracha BBQ sauce may be a little on the garlic-heavy side. Remove cloves accordingly.
