Review of Pa Paw’s Killer BBQ Sauce

Have you ever had a friend that made their own home made barbecue sauce that you thought was really really good? You keep telling that person they need to put that sauce on the market and share it with the rest of world. Sometimes they listen and sometimes they don’t.  Well Tom Duvall out in Lemoore California did just that. After almost 10 years of making his home made sauce he took the advice of friends and made it available to everyone.

Pa Paw’s Killer BBQ Sauce is some good stuff. When I opened the bottle and got my first whiff I knew this was going to be a great sauce.  It doesn’t smell like a traditional bbq sauce but has a sweet slightly tangy smell to it. If any of you readers spent time in the navy and ever stopped off in Subic Bay, Philippines you will almost instantly recognize the smell. I poured a little out in a clear bowl stuck my finger in for a taste. Wow…. that was good. It was slightly sweet and slightly tangy but not overpowering on either. Just right, at least on my initial finger test. The sauce was thick and somewhat clear with small specks of what I assume are tomato and spices.

I decided to try Pa Paw’s Killer BBQ Sauce on some chicken breasts on the grill for the first time. For some reason I was expecting the sauce to turn dark on the grill but it remained clear as it heated up. It didn’t take long for the chicken to finish and when I them off the grill the sauce had seeped its way into the chicken.  I my first bite and let me tell you my tongue and taste buds had a party. It was good. The chicken didn’t look like traditional bbq chicken that has that dark reddish color but almost like a varnish. I should have made more that first time because those two breasts didn’t last long.  I had some sauce left over in the bowl so I dipped a couple bites and it works well as a dipping sauce as well.

This looks like it could be a very versitile sauce used more than just for a bbq. I made mention of the Philippines earlier and they have something called Lumpia which I have a feeling will be really good with this sauce poured over it. I am also thinking the next time I make some pulled pork of using Pa Paw’s instead of my own sauce.

Overall I think you will really like this sauce. Like I said if your expecting a traditional thick, reddish bbq sacue then this isn’t it. If you are wanting a very tasty, somewhat sweet, somewhat tangy suace then this is definitely it.
