Recipe: Eating on a Dime Eastern NC BBQ Sauce Delicious, fresh and tasty.
Eastern NC BBQ Sauce. I have tried a lot of recipes of Eastern North Carolina BBQ Sauce. This is the closest to what you will find in any of the BBQ Restaurants here in North Carolina. It is on the hot side, so you may wish to adjust the cayenne pepper and Tabasco™ sauce for milder flavor.
Sometimes we leave out the brown sugar and use beer for a different kick.
This mop sauce is used for roasting the pig for chopped BBQ.
I use it when grilling chops ribs or a pork shoulder which I grilled a couple a days ago.

A classic of Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue, this sauce isn't thick like the tomato-based ones most people think of when they picture barbecue sauce.
It's on the thinner side, made mostly of cider vinegar that's seasoned with black pepper, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar.
There are lots of BBQ Sauce recipes out there, but I love the vinegar based NC sauce.
