Myron Mixon Hog BBQ Sauce: The Complete Guide to Flavor, Uses, and Pork Technique

Myron Mixon Hog BBQ Sauce: Pork Finishing Guide

Myron Mixon Hog BBQ Sauce is designed with pork in mind and can also accompany chicken or beef. Use a thin finishing layer on ribs and chops, or mix a little into a cooked pulled-pork portion before saucing the batch. Choose the amount by taste rather than a fixed dose for every shoulder.

Cooking check: Keep sauce and utensils used on raw meat separate from the clean serving portion. Marinate under refrigeration and follow the bottle’s storage directions. Cook poultry to at least 165°F; whole pork chops need 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. See the safe minimum internal temperature chart.

This is not a one-size-fits-all sauce. It is engineered for pork, whether you are cooking ribs, pulled pork, or chops. When used correctly, it adds the right balance of sweetness and acidity to complement rich meat and create that classic Southern-style barbecue finish.
