If you know John Paul, he loves smoking and grilling. With these hobbies comes all the different marinades, sauces, and spice rubs. John Paul has tested out lots of varieties of sauces and this maple bourbon barbecue sauce is our favorite!

This barbecue sauce is perfect for chicken or pork. It’s yummy for dipping too! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and smoky with a little tang and spice. It’s not overly spicy so it’s good for all palates!
