Description
Big Ricks Honey BBQ is the sweetest and mildest sauce in the Big Ricks range. Built on the same award-winning tomato-and-smoke foundation as the legendary Original, this version is laced with pure Australian honey that gives it a velvety smooth finish and a natural sweetness that works brilliantly across meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables.
Beneath the honey sweetness lies the familiar deep base of full tomato and smoky-wood flavours that made the Big Ricks Original recipe famous. The honey does not mask the smoke — it rounds it out, turning the sauce into something gentler, smoother, and endlessly approachable. It is the one you reach for when you want big BBQ character without the heat.
Gluten free and incredibly versatile, Honey BBQ is a dipping sauce, a marinade, and a glaze all in one bottle. It works as well on premium steaks as it does on budget-friendly cuts, and it is equally at home on ribs, chicken wings, grilled prawns, and roast vegetables. Kids love it, sweet-toothed adults keep coming back to it, and it has earned its place as a permanent fixture in pantries across the country.
If you are looking for a sauce that brings sweet, smoky, and smooth in equal measure — this is it. Pour it, brush it, dunk it. Big Ricks Honey BBQ just works.
