Wow your guests
No barbecue is complete without a killer sauce. Skip the store-bought stuff and wow your guests with something homemade. Here, five DIY flavorful and smokey barbecue sauces to try.

Bobby Flay’s rich, sweet and tangy barbecue sauce is made with sorghum syrup, which comes from sweet sorghum grass.

3. Molasses Barbecue Sauce
BBQ expert Adam Perry Lang’s barbecue sauce—sweet, spicy and sticky—pairs perfectly with his super-flavorful chicken wings.
4. Sweet Mustard Barbecue Sauce
This sweet and pungent mustard sauce is perfect on pork chops.
