My first barbecue was one using charcoal briquettes. The food tasted amazing, with serious smoky flavors! Later on, after using it, I was toasting a couple of slices of bread 🍞 with the remaining partial ones burning down. It was the most delicious toast anyone could imagine…
 
The downside was the fact that it took longer to start barbecuing compared to a gas grill. Also, it was harder to achieve an accurate cook as the heat kept fluctuating. The major reason why I gave up on a charcoal grill was the cleaning, which was a pain in my… (😮)
 
Whether you’re using a charcoal or a gas grill 🔥, one thing you can’t live without is BBQ sauce. Basting your favorite grilled foods with sauce enhances not only the texture by caramelizing the outside but also adds serious flavor to them.
 
I have a few outstanding BBQ sauce 🥣 recipes such as Dr. Pepper, Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Sauce, Kansas City, Jack Daniel’s, Caribbean, BBQ Sauce for Chicken, and more. Here’s another one that will “wow” your food… Polynesian BBQ Sauce!
 
This condiment is the pinnacle of sauces with its gorgeous combination of sweet, tangy, slightly spicy, and smoky undertones. It brings that umami profile that makes any protein taste incredible! It’s easy and quick to prepare, and it keeps in the fridge for up to 2 months 📆.
 
Polynesian BBQ Sauce is among our favorites! I use it on chicken, when I make my Polynesian Pork Ribs, on fish, like halibut 🐟 or salmon, and even on grilled vegetables. Although similar to my Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Sauce, they’re still quite different in taste.
 
As I mentioned above, it’s easy to make. Blend all the ingredients in a saucepan, cook it down for about 20 minutes ⏰, stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken it, remove it from the cooktop, and let it cool to room temperature. Voilà… it’s done!
 
This summer, enhance your grilled foods with this amazing Polynesian BBQ Sauce! Loaded with exotic flavor 🌺, this fabulous condiment is totally a must-have this summer! You should also definitely try my latest spice blend… Polynesian Rub.
Bon Appétit! 🍽
