10. Our Secret Tip for This Summer – Hawaiian Grille Sauce
The extraordinary taste of this exotic grill & BBQ sauce will transport you to the white beaches of Hawaii. Inspired by typical Lūʻau, this sauce draws from traditional Hawaiian recipes, especially the classic marinade for Huli-Huli chicken. The exotic grilling sauce with a base of tomato paste, molasses, tamarind extract, and soy sauce is refined with brown sugar, ginger, and pineapple, for a simultaneously spicy, sweet, and fruity flavor combination. Like its inspiration, this aromatic barbecue sauce pairs particularly well with pork and chicken.
If you've developed a taste for fruity grilling sauces, why not try the equally delicious Pineapple Ginger Sauce with its fruity blend of pineapple, lime juice, and fresh ginger. Ideal, for example, with rice dishes, but also with fish and light meats, like chicken.
9. Creamy and Intense - Roasted Garlic Aioli
An absolute must-have for all garlic lovers: The Roasted Garlic Aioli impresses with its particularly intense yet pleasantly mild garlic aroma.
Roasting the garlic creates a soft, slightly sweet note that blends perfectly with the creamy aioli base. A dash of white vinegar and a little mustard further enhance the thoroughly fine taste of this aioli. The result is a full-bodied, well-rounded flavor without an overpowering pungency.
Ideal as a dip for fries, wedges, or vegetables, but also as a high-quality topping for burgers, sandwiches, or grilled meat.

8. Perfect with Chicken Wings – Sticky Garlic Wing Sauce
This sauce is a must-have for all fans of classic BBQ wings.
The Sticky Garlic Wing Sauce impresses with its intense garlic note, combined with a pleasant sweetness and hearty spice. The slightly sticky consistency ensures it coats chicken wings perfectly and caramelizes during grilling or baking.
But it's not just a highlight with wings: it also provides an intense flavor experience as a dip or a glaze for meat dishes.

7. With Slowly Roasted Apple Slices – Roasted Apple Grille Sauce
Roasted apples go well with pork, and so does the delicious Roasted Apple Grille Sauce from Stonewall Kitchen. Roasted apple slices and pure maple syrup give this American BBQ sauce a uniquely smoky-sweet flavor. Further flavor experiences come from an apple cider vinegar base, which combines with the aromas of brown sugar, onions, turmeric, and Dijon mustard, giving the sauce its slightly sour note.
As mentioned, this tasty grilling sauce pairs particularly well with pork, but also as a dip for cheese & co. Our personal tip for one of Stonewall Kitchen's best grilling sauces: dilute the sauce with a little apple cider vinegar, pour over chicken salad, and add fresh apple pieces and almonds.

Pineapple, passion fruit extract, and lemon juice enhance the fruity notes of the delicious mango BBQ sauce. At the same time, Dijon mustard, curry, roasted onions, and garlic bring a mix of aromatic influences from South Asia. Unsurprisingly, the Curried Mango Grille Sauce pairs particularly well with Indian-inspired dishes featuring chicken, vegetables, and rice.

5. BBQ Sauce with American Peanut Butter – Roasted Garlic Peanut Sauce
Peanut fans, pay attention: Unlike most other BBQ & grilling sauces from Stonewall Kitchen on the list of the best American BBQ sauces, pure tomatoes are not the base for this absolutely ingenious flavor. A good portion of authentic American peanut butter is added here for a uniquely nutty aroma. Further flavor accents of one of our best BBQ sauces are provided by a delicious mixture of soy sauce, garlic, roasted onions, curry, and Dijon mustard. The result is an extremely versatile flavor profile with a slightly Asian flair. And of course, a certain spiciness is not to be missed here either. Red chili flakes and red paprika granules once again guarantee a fiery finish. The nutty-aromatic sauce goes particularly well with chicken, pork fillets, shrimp & co.

4. Mediterranean Spice Meets BBQ – Garlic Rosemary Citrus Sauce
A real insider tip for anyone looking to combine classic BBQ flavors with Mediterranean influences. The Garlic Rosemary Citrus Sauce stands out with its blend of zesty citrus fruits and pineapple in an aromatic combination with ginger, garlic, and rosemary. Balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard further deepen the aromatic taste experience, and pure cane sugar provides a lightly sweet undertone that brings out the flavors of fruits and herbs. With its intense flavor blend, it's not only a delicious barbecue sauce but also, and most importantly, a tasty marinade. While its combination of flavors tastes simply wonderful with certain meats (e.g., lamb), we particularly recommend one of Stonewall Kitchen's best grill & BBQ sauces with fish and seafood as well as poultry.

3. Fruity-Spicy and Creamy - Habanero Mango Aioli
This aioli perfectly unites two opposites: the fruity sweetness of ripe mango and the intense heat of Habanero chilies. The aioli's base is a traditional mayonnaise, refined with savory tomato paste, spicy red bell peppers, and fiery Habanero chilies. Additionally, the delicate sweetness of mango, raisins, and brown sugar gives the aioli that certain something – a stroke of culinary genius!
Its creamy consistency makes it ideal as a dip or a topping for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. At the same time, the spiciness creates an exciting contrast that pairs particularly well with grilled meat.

The quintessential American classic in our grilling sauce assortment:
More than just a ketchup, this variation embodies authentic American taste.
Based on sun-ripened tomatoes, it creates a particularly intense aroma, complemented by a balanced sweetness and delicate spices. This makes the Country Ketchup significantly fuller-bodied than conventional varieties.

Honorable Mentions: Teriyaki Sauces with Asian Flair
Teriyaki is a typical Japanese seasoning sauce variation that, along with sushi & co., is enjoying increasing popularity here. The base for classic Teriyaki sauces is a mixture of soy sauce, a sweetener such as honey or cane sugar, and a blend of aromas and spices like sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Teriyaki sauce, depending on the aroma and intensity of the soy sauce used, generally pairs with almost everything, from beef and chicken to fish, vegetables, and, of course, rice dishes of all kinds.
From Stonewall Kitchen, we offer 2 delicious variations of this versatile seasoning sauce. The Garlic Teriyaki Sauce is extremely aromatic with a good portion of garlic. For those who prefer traditional Japanese with a hint of ginger, the Sesame Ginger Teriyaki Sauce is the best choice.

1. Our Best BBQ Sauce with Maple Syrup – Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce
And the Winner is:
The Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce is the most popular and undisputed Stonewall Kitchen favorite at American Heritage – and for good reason. The American BBQ sauce with maple syrup combines traditions, some thousands of years old, from both North and South America.
Even the ancient Aztecs roasted chili peppers over an open fire to preserve them longer – they called them 'Pochilli' (smoked chili). The Mexicans later turned this into the name 'Chipotle', which has survived to this day.
Our best grilling sauce, the Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce, combines this millennia-old Central American flavor of bold and spicy chipotle chilies with a touch from the American North – the taste of sweet maple syrup. The liquid gold from the far North, along with naturally produced brown sugar syrup, gives the barbecue sauce a seductive sweetness.
The versatile all-round BBQ sauce is rounded off with fresh diced tomatoes for the perfect BBQ experience and the typical taste of American BBQ.
Generally, the Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce is considered the most popular and best sauce from the USA by Stonewall Kitchen. Thanks to its special aroma combination of roasted chili peppers and sweet maple syrup, it has already won numerous awards: for example, it was voted 'Best Condiment 2009' by AmericasMart "Best of Atlanta" and awarded 'Outstanding Savory Condiment 1997' by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT).
