Tennessee Red BBQ Sauce

Tangy. Zesty. Bold. Southern.

A true BBQ classic with roots deep in Tennessee flavor, this sauce is vinegar-forward with a peppery bite, a touch of sweetness, and a bright red hue that makes any dish pop.

🧄 Flavor Profile:

Zesty apple cider vinegar base

Notes of cayenne, black pepper, and paprika

Pulled pork (especially Carolina-style!)

Ribs or brisket

Grilled chicken or turkey

Sausages or hot dogs

Even fries or onion rings as a dipping sauce
