Kansas City Cowtown Night of the Living BBQ

Cowtown “Night of the Living” BBQ Sauce Frequently Asked Questions

What foods and cooking methods is it best suited for?

It pairs excellently with beef, pork, chicken, seafood or even grilled vegetables. Use it as a glaze, finishing sauce, or a condiment—particularly good when you want flavor plus heat.

What are the ingredients?

tomato puree(water, tomato paste), brown sugar, sugar, chipotle pepper puree, distilled vinegar, salt, natural hickory smoke flavor, mustard powder, molasses, clove, granulated garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, tamarind paste, black pepper, onion powder, ancho chile powder, celery powder and spices.

How hot is it and how should I use it if I’m sensitive to heat?

This is a “killer hot” BBQ sauce with noticeable heat out of the bottle. If you’re less heat-tolerant, start with a modest amount (e.g., ½ tablespoon) and adjust. When cooking, applying later in the process can help manage burning and flavor balance.

Storage and usage recommendations — how can I get the best flavor lifespan?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. After opening, cap tightly and refrigerate if recommended by the label. For peak flavor, use within several months of opening as the aromatic heat and freshness may fade over time.
