I use Stubs on my Chicken. For my Brisket I use salt,pepper and garlic powder(rub) On my short ribs I use Emeril's Essence recipe(rub). On my Pork butt I use vinegar style sauce with Tabasco sauce.
Not really a BBQ sauce but when I feel like lighting it up I use some Black's pepper sauce - you gotta buy it from the restaurant.
Holy crap that stuff is spicy! I haveta be in the mood tho - I usually make a trip to Coopers when I do a BBQ feast and I ain't putting anything on that! Pepper Sauce ? The Original Black's Barbecue Online Store
I think there's some misconceptions about Texas bbq and sauce. To most of the country bbq is basically sandwiches, ribs and chicken too. Sandwiches even in Texas is fair game, whether it be chopped beef, pulled pork, turkey, or dry brisket on bread with pickles, jalapenos, and onions.
But with ribs and chicken, I don't think properly smoked/barbecued ribs or chicken needs sauce. I think both do well with a little glazing while in the smoker with some whiskey and sugary liquid like Worcestershire sauce or root beer.
I personally like either a hot sauce like the original Southside Market pepper sauce or mustard/vinegar based sauce. Or I make my own sweet and vinegary sauce with ketchup, mustard, jalapeno juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, and spices.
Not a big fan of the real sweet and thick sauces like Sweet BR's, KC Masterpiece, you might as well be using A1 sauce if you ask me. Stubbs is pretty good if you want all the added crap in it with an ingredient list a mile long.
The best is that which you make yourself. Easy to make. I don't have my recipe available at work, but folks always seem to steal, take, purloin, borrow, confiscate any left over sauce when I have some folks over. Made some for Christmas presents one year. Put labels on it with funny ingredients. In part it said. "Eye of Newt, Wing of Bat, and other stuff like that.
