Every BBQ aficionado has an opinion on the best methods for marinating, cooking, and seasoning BBQ but one thing always remains true- vinegar, especially a special vinegar based BBQ sauce for ribs and other meats, is an excellent way to achieve tender, delicious meat. Vinegar works by breaking down the tissue in meat, creating a tender piece ready for searing, baking, grilling, or your preferred cooking method. To avoid over tenderizing meat, only marinate in vinegar for a maximum of 24 hours. For optimal texture, marinate in Judge Cline’s No. 9 for 8 hours or overnight. While the vinegar base in our sauce tenderizes your cut of meat, the unique seasoning mix gets to work coating and injecting the meat with a distinct flavor profile you and your guests will love.

Everyone has a signature chili recipe, potentially combining any number and type of peppers, meat, beans, vegetables, and seasoning to create a filling meal with at least a little heat.
