For the best Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce ever, simply:
- Combine Sauce Ingredients
Dump everyone in a small sauce pan and stir to mix all ingredients.

Cook everything on low heat to combine flavors. Make sure the sugars have dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes tops.
- Cool Ingredients
Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool.

How to Serve Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce
I cannot explain how much I love this sauce. The tanginess of the mustard with the slight sweet of the maple syrup and brown sugar just send it over the top. For this recipe, I use my all purpose seasoning to really make it special. The sauce is so good I would drizzle it on a shoe and eat it.
Typically, I like to serve my Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce with pork or chicken. Pulled pork sliders with a drizzle of this bbq sauce on a fluffy brioche bun are the things dreams are made of. I also love this sauce drizzled over a weeknight pork tenderloin – it gives the perfect amount of tang and sweet!
Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce is also amazing with chicken. Jazz up your roast chicken with this delectable sauce. Drizzle over chicken wings and you’ll be the star of any game day. And, let’s not overlook the absolute beauty of this bbq sauce as a dip for a perfectly fried chicken leg. Now, I’m getting hungry!
