Barbecue Sauce for Chops, Wings, Spareribs

Another favorite 1960 recipe from one of my old recipe cards. A great basic barbecue sauce for pork chops, chicken wings, or spareribs using ingredients readily available in most pantries. No precooking of the sauce is required but you can simmer it for 10 to 15 minutes if you like. Or, just mix the sauce ingredients together, pour over the meat, and bake. Adjust seasonings to taste. You can add garlic powder or minced garlic if you like. A good make ahead for next day barbecue.

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • pork chops, chicken wings, spareribs

Sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    Trim excess fat from pork chops, remove tips from chicken wings, cut spareribs into serving pieces.
  2. 2
    There should be enough meat to cover the bottom of 9"x13" pan in a single layer.
  3. 3
    Even though precooking of the meat is not required, I usually parboil spareribs to get rid of excess fat, and brown pork chops, drain the fat, and deglaze the browning pan with some of the sauce.
  4. 4
    Combine all the sauce ingredients.
  5. 5
    Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (optional).
  6. 6
    Pour sauce over chops, wings, or ribs.
  7. 7
    Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 75 to 90 minutes or until meat is tender and thoroughly cooked.
  8. 8
    Baking time will depend on quantity, type of meat, and thickness.
  9. 9
    Baste occasionally and turn over at least once.
  10. 10
    Place meat on a serving dish.
  11. 11
    Pour balance of sauce into a bowl.
  12. 12
    Skim off any excess grease, or chill the sauce to allow the fat to solidify on top so it will be easier to remove.

This was great! I added about a teaspoon of minced fresh garlic and 1/2 tsp of dried mustard. Simmered for about 15 minutes before pouring over the seared pork chops. Since my chops were not exceptionally thick I covered the baking dish with foil and baked for 1 hour. This was a nice tangy addition to the chops and will be making again this way soon. Thanxs foodtvfan

    Loved this one for both ease and flavor. I made this with a pair of boneless chops trimmed from a whole pork loin. Gave the inch thick chops a very quick sear in a cast iron skillet (90 seconds), poured the sauce on top and popped it into the oven for 40 minutes basting the chops twice during that time. Did not cook the sauce ahead of time, but truly that was fine as the sauce was thick and rich; and kept the the meat moist and tender. The flavors in this are very simple but welll balanced betweent sweet (from the ketchup) and tangy (from the vinegar), but it would be very easy to adjust with your favorites like additional chili powder, dried mustard, whatever. Think of it as a great blueprint for a great dinner. I will certainly do this again with chicken as well as chops. Thanks!

    My husband and I were planning BBQ porkchops on the grill when I discovered I was out of BBQ sauce. I found this recipe, substituting Splenda's brown sugar blend, and I am so glad I did!! My husband and I both liked it better than our usual store bought brand and I will use this as our BBQ sauce from now on. My only change will be to decrease the brown sugar slightly since it was a tad sweeter than I like. Thank you!
