Strawberry BBQ Sauce takes just a few minutes to prepare and will WOW your guests with its sweet and tangy flavor.
Strawberries were on sale at my grocery this week so I bought a bunch of them because strawberries are my kids’ favorite fruit. I bought so many of them however that I needed to find another use for them besides just eating them fresh.
Using up fresh strawberries before they rotted is how I came up with the idea to turn some of those strawberries into a BBQ sauce. We eat a lot of grilled chicken in the summer, and I’m always looking for new ways to flavor our chicken.
After a quick Google search I found this recipe and modified it with what I happened to have already in the house. I was so pleasantly surprised with the flavor and the speed with which I was able to make it! All you have to do is throw a few ingredients in the food processor to blend and it’s ready to go. This strawberry BBQ sauce is for sure going in our regular dinner rotation.

There’s a little chicken strip place in Olathe, on Santa Fe near Ridgeview (used to be a Wendy’s) and they have a yummy strawberry BBQ.
