This Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce is a delicious combination of spicy and tangy. It’s so delicious on so many meats and foods, but I especially love to eat it with chicken or pork.

Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce
For as long as I remember, I’ve always loved my Mama’s Coca-Cola BBQ sauce. It is what I grew up on her chicken, meatloaf and so many other dishes. But then, on a trip to South Carolina after my husband and I were married, I ventured over into the other side of BBQ sauces – away from the red and sweet to the yellowish orange and tangy. While I won’t say that it replaced the BBQ sauce that I’ve loved since I was a little girl, I readily admit that when I now love to make all sorts of BBQ sauces at my house depending on what I’m planning to serve. I also like to make a selection so that guests have an option.
If you are looking for another BBQ sauce to add to your line up for an upcoming party or just to try something a little different from your usual sauce that you serve, you might want to make this to try as an option. It is one that I certainly enjoy!
Here’s my Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Love this sauce. I like to use it on pulled pork. It’s also really good on wings and chicken tenders.
I used dejon mustard instead of yellow mustard. It gave it a better taste to me and everyone loved it. Will continue to make this in the future. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks, Troy. So glad everyone loved the BBQ sauce!
Legit. I used Crystal for the hot sauce and preferred it to Tabasco or Cholula, but this is pure flavor profile on an individual bases.
My new favorite yellow sauce. Just had it on pulled pork. I kickked it up a little (i like it hot). Super easy quick sauce!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
How did you kick it up? I like hot spicy. Thank you 😊
Gave this a try last night with chicken and its very good! Will definitely be making it again.
I liked the sauce but felt it the mustard flavor was a bit strong. I added 1/4 cup of pineapple juice and cooked it a little longer (about a minute) and then the sauce was much tastier (to me anyways,….)
To reduce the mustard intensity but maintain the flavor profile try adding 1/4 cup of apple juice or cider.
The sauce looks great – will absolutely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
This looks incredibly delicious!
Sounds lovely! I’ll be making this tonight with some BBQ chicken skewers!
Can you give me some ideas as to what I would use this on?? Maybe shrimp? Thank you.
