Hi Delta Dawn, this was tested with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce.

Just a question...what brand and type of barbecue sauce was used for this recipe? Sounds interesting and I'd like to try it. Very often the choice of sauce can make the difference in whether the dish is fab or disaster. Please advise....

I honestly don't know how this recipe was award-winning. I didn't care for them very much at all. The flavors just didn't seem to go together, in my opinion.

This is a real keeper! Went over great at a group potluck...had several friends asking for the recipe.
