Sweet Baby Ray's award-winning original barbecue sauce in a 1 gallon handled jug for chicken tenders, wings, burgers and grills.
The catering size comes in a tall, dark brown plastic jug with a moulded handle and a blue cap, the sauce itself almost mahogany. The white label is set at an angle: four red stars, Award Winning and The Sauce is the Boss! in script, the navy Sweet Baby Ray's Gourmet Sauces arch, and a red-edged yellow starburst reading Barbecue Sauce, with 1 gallon (3.78 L) along the foot. The gallery opens on a crisp breaded chicken tender being dipped into a cup of the sauce, alongside glazing and basting shots with a pastry brush. As general background, Sweet Baby Ray's is a barbecue sauce brand based in Romeoville, Illinois, and barbecue sauce is used as a marinade, a baste or a topping for barbecued meat, and is a ubiquitous condiment in the Southern United States and Australia. A thick, sweet sauce like this typically caramelises fast, so it goes on near the end of cooking. Commonly, grill kitchens baste chicken and beef brisket with it in the last minutes, burger kitchens spread it on buns, and wing shops toss crispy wings in it. Wipe the neck of the jug after pouring, and once it has been opened move it to the walk-in fridge.
