KOSMOS Q: Apple Chipotle BBQ Sauce – 439g

Sweet apple, sneaky chipotle

A five-star, fan-favourite Kosmos Q sauce built on real apples, then nudged awake with chipotle and guajillo. Sweet enough for the kids, grown-up enough for the pit — it’s the competition-circuit sauce that made Kosmos famous, now on the clearance rack.

The flavour

Up front it’s crisp, orchard-sweet apple. The middle rounds out with brown-sugar depth, then chipotle and guajillo bring a slow, smoky warmth on the finish — sweet heat that lingers without ever burning.

How to cook with it

• Mop onto pork ribs in the last 20 minutes so the sugars set to a sticky, glossy lacquer.
• Fold through a tray of pulled pork for sweet-smoky shine.
• Brush over chicken thighs on the grill and glaze in layers.
• Left-field: spoon over a sharp cheddar toastie for a sweet-heat melt.

In the bottle

A glossy, pourable red-brown sauce with a medium body that clings to meat rather than running off — thick enough to mop, loose enough to brush.

The Rub Smuggler’s Verdict

Darryl’s orders: brush it on the ribs late and let it set to a sticky, apple-sweet lacquer — two thin coats beat one thick slather every time. Want more bite? Dust the meat first, then finish with a spoon of Honey Jalapeño. The rest of the Kosmos Q smuggle is yours for the taking.
