RTF Thanksgiving Part 3 of 5 If you are in the mood to break tradition this Thanksgiving, ditch the gravy and slather your smoked turkey with homemade BBQ sauce.  The sweetness of the sauce pairs perfectly with the smoky and salty flavors of the smoked bird.  Go ahead, go rogue this Thanksgiving!

Here’s the RTF Thanksgiving Menu

Our Homemade BBQ Sauce recipe was originally posted  in June 2012.  We enjoyed amazing Chicken Wings on the beach in St. Maarten.  The homemade BBQ sauce is great on grilled chicken.  We have modified it a bit for perfect pairing with smoked poultry and meats.
