If you like to baste your chicken with BBQ Sauce, you really must try this BBQ Sauce from St-Hubert. It is really one of the best chicken BBQ sauces out there. Don’t believe me, try it!
While this Copycat BBQ Sauce can be used with just about anything you would use BBQ Sauce with, I especially like this St-Hubert BBQ Sauce to baste my chicken when I am grilling. Just the way they do it at St-Hubert.
Recipe Tip
If you are going to use the BBQ sauce to baste your chicken, you should only baste the chicken in the final 10 minutes of the cook. The main reason for this is that you don’t want the sugar in the sauce to burn among other things.
Ingredient Substitution
You can use whatever hot sauce you have on hand instead of the Tabasco Sauce. I list Tabasco as that is probably the most common hot sauce most have but you can easily substitute it for something like Frank’s RedHot Sauce.

Finally found the ultimate bbq sauce! My family loved it and this is the only sauce they want on their bbqed chicken! Fantastic as a dipping sauce for chicken!
This BBQ sauce is very tasty. I used it on my chicken on the BBQ and my family just loved it. It sure was 100% better than any store bought one. Will keep on making this recipe from now on.
This sauce is just great. Loved it. I used it on my chicken but not on the BBQ so used it in my oven. Turned out perfectly. Very tasty.
