Award Winning BBQ Sauce
by Wild Rooster
Wild Rooster was founded in September 2001 in the Low Country of Pawleys Island, SC. After months of research, development (and much tasting) we introduced three barbecue sauces. The following year we focused on product development as we introduced 13 additional products to offer a full complement of products, including a robust line of BBQ Sauces, Salsas, and Dry Rubs. Our products carry flavors from many regions of the South as well as the Midwest.
As a result of our work to introduce a line of All Natural products with no preservatives and no MSG we are proud to announce the following awards:

Wild Rooster’s Pawleys Island SUNBURN won 2nd place in the Hot Sauce “Mild” category. Pawleys Island SUNBURN was introduced in the 4th quarter of 2005 and has become a hit in the south and now in the west. A nice blend of cayenne and habanaro peppers and spices make theSUNBURN unique in flavor and taste. Great for cooking and for the table.

The Myrtle Beach Sun News conducted their own unsolicited taste tests for Carolina BBQ Sauces. Of the five tested BBQ Sauces, according to the Sun News “Wild Rooster is a line of sauces made in Pawleys Island, and this vinegar-based marinade came out on top among our testers. This puppy packs heat out of the bottle but calms slightly when it comes off the grill. It was zesty, popping with peppery spices, but not enough to make you squeal like the pork the sauce would pair beautifully with”.
Wild Rooster Fiery Vinegar is a family recipe that dates back over 50 years. It is an excellent marinade as vinegar is a natural tenderizer and may be used throughout the cooking cycle as it does not contain tomatoes. For cooks that like it sweet, just add brown sugar.
