Recipe Testers' Reviews
This recipe hits all senses in your taste buds. I think it’s a great alternative to regular BBQ sauce and will be more versatile.
I liked the vinegar taste with this recipe. The apple juice tames the vinegar some and the lemon juice gives it a brighter taste. I did have to use coarsely ground Dijon mustard as I couldn't find Creole mustard. I would want to add a little brown sugar and more cayenne for my taste.

I’m a huge fan of white barbeque sauce in general and this is a stellar recipe. It makes a liberal amount (about 2 1/2 cups), so thank goodness it's good on sandwiches and anything grilled.
Our favorite way to use it is on dry-rubbed bone-in chicken thighs (the very best meat for the grill, in my opinion). We also use it to dip roasted cauliflower and zucchini fritters. I used Duke's mayo and a homemade whole grain mustard1 from the Leite's Culinaria site.
