Memphis sweetness with a proper smoke ring of flavour

Lillie's Q Smoky Barbeque Sauce is a sweet, mild Memphis-style BBQ sauce from Chef Charlie McKenna's Chicago barbecue brand, made for slow-cooked ribs, smoked chicken and burgers. It's built around real smoke flavour rather than heat — the bottle to reach for when you want classic barbecue flavour without anyone at the table complaining about spice.

The flavour

Front is tomato sweetness and molasses, the middle carries natural smoke flavour with a mustard tang, and it finishes with garlic, onion, paprika and a touch of caramel colour depth.

How to cook with it

Brush over pork ribs in the last 20 minutes of the cook so the sugars glaze rather than burn
Glaze smoked chicken wings or drumsticks straight off the smoker
Brush over burger patties just before they come off the heat
Use as the base for smoky baked beans or a slow-cooker pulled pork
Rogue move: stir through mayo for an instant smoky burger sauce

In the bottle

Rich reddish-brown and medium-thick — squeezes easily and clings well to ribs and wings.

Questions answered

Is Lillie's Q Smoky Barbeque Sauce spicy? No. It's a sweet, mild Memphis-style sauce built around smoke flavour, with no chilli heat — 0 on our Hub Heat.

What's it best on? Slow-cooked pork ribs and smoked chicken are the classic match, and it's just as good on burgers, meatloaf and pulled pork.

Is it gluten free? It's made with gluten-free ingredients, but it isn't gluten-free certified. It's also vegan, dairy free and nut free.

Does it need refrigerating? Keep it in the fridge once opened, like any squeeze sauce.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Sweet, mild and properly smoky — the Memphis-style bottle for a table where not everyone wants heat. Dust pork ribs with Rum and Que Rib Rocker, smoke them over Natural Smoke Apple Wood Chunks at 125°C, and brush this on for the final 20 minutes so it sets to a sticky lacquer. Kids, nan and the bloke who reckons he doesn't like barbecue sauce — all sorted.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Sticky Memphis Back Ribs

Low, slow and lacquered at the finish line.

You'll need: 2 racks pork back ribs; 3 tbsp pork rub; 250ml Smoky Barbeque Sauce; 100ml apple juice in a spray bottle.

Do this:

Pull the membrane off the bone side and season both sides with the rub.
Smoke at 125°C for 3 hours, spritzing with apple juice every hour.
Wrap each rack in foil with a splash of apple juice and cook another 1.5 hours until the bones start to bend.
Unwrap, brush with sauce and cook 20–30 minutes until tacky; rest 10 minutes and slice between the bones.
