BBQ sauce.

[Skeptic]

Hi guys,

Every time I go to the pub, I have smothered chicken (sometimes called hunters chicken, or chicken melt). I know it's not too healthy, but I have it mostly as a treat. I love it. Basically, it's chicken, BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon.

However, I can't seem to recreate it at home - the BBQ sauce is never right. I've tried pretty much all the ones on the shelf at tesco. I wish I was kidding. Does anybody know what sauce they use? There are differences between the pubs, but the sauce is always better than the supermarket offering.

Any insider pub secrets?

Many thanks

(PS BBQ is better than any of that other rubbish; ketchup, daddies and mayo inclusive)

probably home made, try making your own from a recipe and see how it turns out.

Edit: This guy seems to know his stuff:

Heinz BBQ sauce at Whitbread pubs. My wife works there, so I just asked her.

I'm sure that I've tried that one, but will be glad to try again. Thankyou. I'm beginning to wonder whether it's a cash-and-carry type of Heinz, rather than the supermarket style. Again, thanks for asking.

Those little sauce sachets you get in supermarkets, abd you just add water or somthing, you can get a hunters chicken one and its super tasty!

My favourite BBQ sauce is Cattleman's. It is so awesome, just cannot find it anywhere any more. I have tried the usual suspects as well, Heinz, HP, JD etc but none of them measure up to it.

With its topping of melted bubbling cheese, this gastro-pub inspired favourite is worth staying in for!

gatro-pub, lol.

Strange, I always assumed that BBQ sauce would at some point have an ingredient that included BBQ?

Like 2 * Freshly picked BBQ seeds. Wierd.

Best bbq sauce I've bought is the tiptree stuff, proper bbq sauce that! Second only to some I had a friends house from a local butcher's in Crich Derbyshire!

Is this along the lines or was it more HP or Heinz variety.
