Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce Recipe - Spicy Mustard Pepper Barbecue Sauce

[kitohol]

Definitely zesty, but HOLY PEPPER is that HOT! my mouth is still on fire, and i didnt put the tbs of pepper flakes... great for spicy lovers

[MyStiCxByul]

this is my kind of sauce! I love using lots of black pepper and red pepper! Thanks Chef John!! :)

[RIPCompanionCube]

it looks like boomer bile.

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

i don't know about you guys, but to me this is one of the best basting and dipping sauces for Pork chops....

Pork chops and apple slices or Pork chops with mustard glaze go really well

and here you get the best of both worlds, with a little tang to it...

good stuff...

Joe from Germany

[FuriousPumpkin]

o god where will I find generic mustard!?!?!?!?

[MrJackiewilliams]

Both Carolinas use vinegar base sauces, but South Carolina is more mustard and vinegar and North Carolina is Ketchup and vinegar.

[aarlin81]

I'd really like to travel the country tasting different regional BBQ sauces before I get too old to chew my own food :)

The only sauces that I can think of that I would avoid are New England white barbecue sauces (mayo based). Maybe I'll start on the east coast so I would have plenty of states to wash that nastiness out of my mouth.

[Ostrasize]

@aarlin81 A maybo based bbq sauce sounds sooooooooooooo good. 

[houchi69]

1:57 anyone heard that bubble bursting sound?

also, at that stage, it looks like one of my diarrhea

Interesting take on the Carolina mustard sauce, John. The apples and brown sugar makes for a lot sweeter version than what I have ever seen. I'll have to try it. My recipe (I call it Cackalacky Sauce) is about 60% mustard, 35% beer with the rest being apple cider vinegar, a touch of ketchup, black pepper and a few spices.

[johnsned]

I love the vinegar style sauces from the Carolinas, my best friends grandpa taught me about BBQ when I was a kid. How do you tell if you have enough vinegar in your sauce he asked.... he answered, stick your face over the pot, breathe deeply if you don't cough for at least 10 seconds you need to add more vinegar. :-)

[johnsned]

Great recipe, this is a variation of "South" Carolina BBQ sauce.

[kacileoparak]

THIS IS A FREAKING PORN JUICE!

[wraith313]

I'm from VA. That said, I have always eaten carolina style BBQ. Never heard if this. Sure, it has more vinegary qualities, but no actual "sauce" as far as ive ever known.

[Calvrp]

This is delicious, one of my new favourite condiments.

[TangoSpiceCompany]

This is a great looking sauce.

Most home made BBQ sauces are a 'take' on some recipe and your take on this one is very good!

[anetha242]

omg your so cruel, im starving!!

[tweekyseagull]

YOU, Chef John, are the reason I am getting fat!!! :-P

[MetallicGod07]

I live in North Carolina. :) I've never had this sauce before though. I should try it sometime. It looks really good.

[pfirsch77]

@MetallicGod07, I'm from NC, too, and I've never had it either. In my neck of the woods, there's no mustard and definitely NO SUGAR.

[cooperdude2009]

1:04 - Sound like a sheep :D

[blackdymen]

and I just left the gym...smh FUCK!

[ChanimalCrackers]

Would it be possible to substitute mangoes, rice vinegar, and add a couple of serranos or habaneros to make a barbecue sauce?

[RedSoxBowHunter]

the tall guy on Next Food Network Star tottally stole ideas from chef john last night with his pork and apple coleslaw sandwich

[wanderingfoodie]

Lookin' Tasty J-Dog

[systemshark]

EltE0o-pFlw

stole your music

[cleanpalette]

This gives me shivers.

[aznxCOOLxguy]

Cook book! Cook book! Cook book! =]

[MrAsian890]

wait up did i just hear chef john say the cheaper the better?

[GarchompXX123]

thumbs up if you think chef john should go to hells kitchen

[Raggadouche]

How would one store this?

[evilwoman24]

would love to see your take on Lobster Bisque :)

[Dailybabble]

Where did you learn to cook?

Guy 1: NY institute for culinary arts

Guy 2: Chef John's foodwishes channel

[pamelaleungpam]

I will never watch u again in the middle of the frickin' night!!! OMG, I'm so hungry ;)

[crypticjim]

This is the wrong MF'r to watch when you're hungrey with no food in the house

[Akira092009]

@crypticjim so true so true lol

[sassy2021]

@crypticjim or when your fasting :( FML

[christschool]

It's North Carolina Chef John that this inspiration comes from. South Carolina is not known for BBQ. Those of us living in North Carolina really dislike the use of "Carolina" because the states are very different. For instance, in 2008, NC voted for Obama and SC voted for McCain. We have more in common with the Mid-Atlantic than we do with SC. There is no such place as "Carolina".

[bassman1018]

@christschool totally agree! Although I consider NC the true Carolina. South Carolina just that really conservative state south of the true Carolina!

[TheRowdyTiger]

@bassman1018 uh no, South Carolina's older then North. You can't take away its Carolina-ness just because its conservative. And this is coming from a liberal.

[ShowMeHowNow]

That chop is juicy as heck!!!

[funkyliciousgal08]

I WANT TO WATCH U ON HELL'S KITCHENN!

[TheRealrocker74]

@funkyliciousgal08 Chef John's so cool, he would make it freeze over.

[IamFaisalHearMyRoar]

pork is gross!

[HigherPlanes]

i wanna pour this sauce all over my ham and cheese sandwich

[LANETOMOJE]

John do something with french fries,it's been a long time since you did something with fries. P.S. You should do a ranch dressing video also.

[petrie1230]

this video's "and always, enjoy" sounded especially warm.

[ZHDesignX]

How long would this keep in the fridge?

[missbyanka]

I wish I could just reach into my computer screen and pull out one of those pork chops. They look so delicious! Especially since I'm now hungry after watching that video.

[Dasyati]

"Pardon me, would you have any yellow redneck mustard?"

[stevemcblark]

I don't care if it's 1 in the morning. I'm going out to the barbecue right now and make me some goddamn pork chops.

[6151RichmondStreet]

I could swim in any carolina style bbq sauce.

[creamyasuyoshisoda2]

おいしそうですね

thank you

[homicidalmunky]

@foodwishes back in my day, we didn't have tapa-tapa.

[jordanian14]

Ugh u made me hungry !!

[droffaws]

That seems like it'd be pretty bitchin' with french fries.

[JassiLovesCupcakesx3]

@droffaws It is,i just tried it.its fucking amazing.

[azndude3600]

Tapa-Tapa?

[diepper1]

Chef john is a boss

[georgiafbi]

@iamzblah LMFAO

[GellyRolll]

I dont have a blender -___-

[shaynemcallister]

As a South Carolinian who has worked for a BBQer, Mustard-based are dominant in the midlands and lowcountry of the state (so Columbia and Charleston). The Upstate tends to be tomato/vinegar based. I don't think the lowcountry of North Carolina would use Mustard based, but I'm not sure. For my mustard sauce, I do the following: Proportions may vary according to taste. Yellow mustard Apple Cider Vinegar Brown sugar Worcestershire Sauce Salt Pepper Chilli Powder and other spices

[MissPonderosa]

This looks good :P BUT regardless of that:

so you tease us with sweet sweet food porn a couple of days ago and now you torture us by not giving us the recipe!?!?

[111dogon555]

excellent, glad to see that pork had a bit of pink to it.

far too many people overcook pork. I have pork medium most of the time.

never gotten sick 

[shanenahs102]

Hmmm I live in North Carolina and I have never made my sauce with apples in it. Guess I have something new to try! :)

I wish you would make more videos like this (food that we actually want to cook.) Keep up the good work though :)

[angotchi]

top comment has 414 likes. video has 315 views. what? :|

[centsnine1]

@angotchi youtube is messed up with views everyone knows that o.o

[Sadin15]

@iamzblah Hilarious!

[GazeRock123]

What's the difference between letting the apples disappear in the pot compared to just pureeing them till they disappeared in the blender?

[godserens]

@GazeRock123 DON'T QUESTION THE GOD

[GazeRock123]

@godserens

God doesn't cook, he wills food to appear and BAM it's there.

[rahxephon52]

SAUCE Bauss. 

[BlurbFish]

So how many of you noticed that the top comment as more likes than the video itself?

[chop100]

oh wow. that pork looks amazing

[dodoinurpants]

Apples and pork chops just work...nice touch dude.

[BLeSSeDoGkUSH420]

can this be used as a marinade?

[fudgeyum]

The question is will it blend?

[imapieface]

@pavelow235 DO NOT add flour. Use corn starch.

[pavelow235]

How do you make the sauce thicker, it looks quite runny?

[DarkoBWM]

@pavelow235 I'm guessing add a little bit of flour to it?

[HackerGuitarist]

@iamzblah gonna take a stab in the dark here...your gay ..correct ?

[psychonavigator]

@HackerGuitarist Hope you're not as bad at guitar as you are figuring people out or grammar.

[bassman1018]

OK Chef John... First off, props your the master. However, being born and raised in NC, raising and cooking hogs here I must say that there can be no twists on our BBQ sauce. Generally there isn't mustard in it (although there is sometimes) but there certainly is no apple in it. I know this seems overkill but BBQ and BBQ sauce are a bit of a religion here. That being said, you really should make your way out here and experience a pig pickin for yourself (with homegrown pork!!)

[HackerGuitarist]

@bassman1018 and your sauce video is where ... ?

[shaynemcallister]

@bassman1018 what part of NC are you from? I agree that I haven't seen mustard-based much outside the lowcountry of South Carolina.

[bassman1018]

@shaynemcallister I'm from Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!). I know the vinegar based (no mustard) is from eastern NC but seems to be predominant across NC. I think sauces with mustard and other sweeter sauces come from the mountain region, but like I said the true Carolina sauce is strait vinegar based, no mustard

[anarchyangel202]

BUT will it blend?

[anglepuppydogs]

@iamzblah You have 327 likes, there are only 315 views....... You're amazing O.O

[openuniverse2003]

Chef John, have you ever cooked horse meat? Any recipes? Thanks.

[sparkle0518]

I know that the most part of NC loves it's vinegar based sauce. I live here and the best place to go is Kyle Fletcher's in Gastonia, NC.

[kekejojo1212]

i think an amazing youtube business would be like if there was some kind of frozen delivery service where you could get it delivered by pressing the "ORDER IT!" button. it could be made by a factory exactly to chef johns specifications. OR, it might be simpler to do a button to just order the ingredients (spices, sauces, etc).. could have a whole complete line of products.

[alexflum]

All bow down to Chef John!

[HackerGuitarist]

@alexflum ..well aren't you precious ... but sad

[alexflum]

@HackerGuitarist No baby.. you're precious.. ;) mmm

[joyjoyooO]

woooow

[KittyTh]

i drooled

[punkrocky6]

hey Chef John, have you ever thought about putting out a cookbook? I know I'd buy it, and all the people I've converted to the Chef John religion would too!

[dovlaBass]

@punkrocky6

he did

/user/foodwishes#p/search/0/_1­aeyBDdng0

[SouthernSky]

@punkrocky6 He has released a cookbook quite recently, check his blog

[iphone13G]

@punkrocky6 he allready has one . go back to his videos.

[matipatros]

@punkrocky6 There is one already :-)

[TheAlmightyFSM]

@punkrocky6 Foodwishtology.

[paperchasin23]

@punkrocky6 you should let chef john finger you since you're so much in love with him.

[TheRealXesc]

@punkrocky6 /watch?v=_1aeyBDdng0

[TuviaGering]

@punkrocky6 why would you want a cook book?! he has VIDEO RECEPIES. it's a godzillion times better than any cook book. if you want to support chef John, ask him for a donate button with some cayanne.

[punkrocky6]

@TuviaGering

I would want a cook book because running from the computer to the kitchen and back every 10 seconds would be quite tedious.

[TuviaGering]

@punkrocky6

every time I cook kone of his recepies I simply write them down. but I see your point

[Sonic3323new]

@punkrocky6 check out his blog for more information about that and other subject matters

[xTonyLeo]

@punkrocky6 Chef john made a book a while back, just google chef johns book

[indofatso]

@punkrocky6 He already has one

[beatlejn]

@punkrocky6 I'm a fellow foodwishologist too! here, here for a cookbook!

[BellaFiducia]

@punkrocky6 he already has one

[helloimjaden]

@BellaFiducia he does? where do i get it??

[arniebarb123]

@punkrocky6 this is like a cookbook but better its a cookvideo : p

[charliesgotaguitar]

@iamzblah congrats, that was great :D

[Tealcc]

NEEED to FEED

[3literv6]

chef John you should really try to grow your own peppers.

[coolliger]

Great video!

[YT747]

I totally lost it when you started basting the pork chops.

[AvatarRoku]

hey chef john! i'm loving the high output of new videos in a relatively short amount of time. thank you!!!

[snowblazer12]

delish

[SimoesLaurinda]

I mean make the sauce lol

[SimoesLaurinda]

definitely will try to sauce sometimes, thanks chef ;)))))

[elstyr]

@iamzblah Amazing idea, count me in! I throw a pound of smoked paprika to the bribe! :-D

[holasierra95]

Do you think you can do a video on how to make cheddar parmesan ravioli? :D

[dgillespie13]

Love your videos, but please be careful stepping out - we southerners are a little proud of our cooking, especially BBQ. You mentioned you had never been to the Carolina's and I haven't been to China, but I love the food, I just wouldn't consider trying to teach someone how to prepare it. I realize you did say it was your take on the recipe, so you might get a pass. Get on a plane, and come for a visit, you won't leave with any recipes, those are handed down within families

[iChris56]

if you had stopped at :57 i would've been equally happy with the result

[GMGvanS]

@iamzblah Best comment I've read this month.

[MorningEvil]

Apple cider vinegar is sooo stink.

[JoyeuseXI]

@MorningEvil No worse then regular vinegar. lol

[Xeroc123]

The mustard style is more of a South Carolina sauce and the pure vinegar based is North Carolina

[juffurey]

do you really prefer silicone brushes or are they just easier to clean?

[juffurey]

<3 vinegary and peppery. tangy bbq and steak sauce is the best!

[Iiridellia]

As... a north carolina resident.. O_O No. No mustard. seriously. D: It's basically a vinegar based sauce, sans mustard no matter what you say. XD

Another note: BBQ is dry smoked pork. :)

[flufinsky]

you always make me so hungry D:

[TheBlestemat]

I will take a Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce and eat it

[antonb000]

o man, i miss the freakishly small wooden spoon..

[sooth15]

The thumbnail kind of looked like a delicious cinnamon bun.

[TheAsianGuitar]

I drooled. =_=

[Rururawr]

!! No cayenne????? come on chef john!

[skullboymemo324]

it looks like soup

[seomoz]

i bit my tongue 

[desertrose88]

can you imagine? i never had cayenne in my life! :(

[ksha]

Wish my man could cook.

[zwithgol]

Would you please do a traditional tomato based BBQ sauce? Something like Masterpiece brand.

[00GCGaming]

Eat safely, use a condiment..

[lilylui72]

i wanna live in your house, Chef John.

[CossuMaister]

You should make like a youtube restaraunt where online your followers can come and eat :) or then you should have a youtube food day where you and maybe some of your buddies would make food and some of your followers would eat :D

[oldschoolkillaOG]

beautiful

[omglawld]

oh my-

[Marieila]

You're such a food tease!

[joker28666]

holy fuck i was just eating and im soo fucking hungry again

[mellowmark1]

You're the man Chef John. Everything you make looks amazing.

[cobycom]

If I were you I'd be sooo fat.

[rlwalker2]

The pork chops, sauce and beans would pass for a great "low carb" dish. Looks fantastic.

[druidicgrove]

Lo ah-ah-ah-ah-ts of black pepper.

[druidicgrove]

Lo ah-ah-ah-ah-ts of black pepper.

[JoleneSugarbaker]

Yummy! I like Potato Chips flavored with Carolina BBQ :) In DC, we have Mumbo Sauce...but over the years, some of the places have changed it, not how it used to be.....Like how you said "Cheap" :) I have like 10 bottles of mustard after an obsession with couponing.. will have to try this...

[marsupioll]

I need to buy a barbecue!

[fappercino]

*runs naked through Carolina*

>:-o

[LWStupidus]

This looks so good

[calebthellama]

Chef John... who do you make all this food for? do you still work in a restaurant? because the kitchen looks like home.. but sometimes you make A LOT of food for just you and your wife... please tell me how this works, i'm kinda interested now!!

[XxJAKattackxX]

@calebthellama he probably keeps leftovers lol lots of people cook a lot all at once and then eat it for two days.

[sirfragalot92]

@calebthellama Chef John's a finely-chiseled statuesque man. He needs his calories to keep making all these masterpieces. And to keep his demigod physique. :D

[jandkas]

@calebthellama hey he has to feed his kids too you know

[GlavSlav]

who would dislike this

[NappyCrafty]

You're sooo sarcastic. I like it!

[kevinminwooyi]

if i ever strike it rich, i'm going to buy you and keep you as my personal chef. and if i'm rich enough, im going to clone you so that you never die....

[TheVittleVlog]

You ROCK Chefarooni !!

[soyoungcharles]

@xcutiepatootiex .... I would go fershure.
