Strawberry Sriracha BBQ Sauce recipe information;
This is an updated post. The original date I shared this recipe was in July of 2016.
To be honest, this recipe has been on my mind ever since I first made this sauce because it is amazing! This time when I made it I added it to chicken and, let me tell you, it lives up to everything I said about it in the first place…and then some!
The day I made this sauce my mom was over for a visit. When I told her I was planning on making Strawberry BBQ sauce, I think she thought I was crazy.
I thought I might be crazy too, but sometimes you just have to follow your gut and take a leap of faith.
When I made this sauce, I had pork ribs on my mind. However, I’m sure this would taste equally good on grilled chicken, and even fish.
Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Thank you Renee. I have the same problem and will make this recipe. Thank you.
I love the BBQ Sauce you made! Sweet and Spicy is the best combination!
Exactly 🙂
I love this idea…sweet with the savory is the best! I’m going to try it with grilled chicken this week!
I hope you do, Ashley. I know you’ll love it!
First of all, these pictures are gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE the flavors in this!
Thank you so much. Lauren. That means a lot to me!
Yum! I’ve never thought to pair sriracha with strawberries, I absolutely need to try this!
I hope you do try it, Laura. You’ll be happy you did!
Pretty sure my family would think I am crazy if I told them I was putting strawberries in BBQ sauce, but it sounds delicious and I know they would love it!
I thought I had lost my mind, too, but I figured it was worth a try. So glad I did. It’s delicious!
What a brilliant idea for barbecue sauce! We love barbecue in the summertime, and I’ve never seen a sauce that calls for fresh strawberries… and I absolutely cannot wait to make this!
Thank you so much, Erin. Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention 🙂
I can’t get enough of strawberries these days, and it seems you are in the same predicament as me! How interesting to pair with sriracha and make a BBQ sauce. I bet it is great and I’ve got to try it, since I’m such a berry fan!!!
Yes, do try it, Lora. I think you’ll be pleased.
We love BBQ sauce with strawberries, it’s so flavourful. I love that you used sriracha in this. I can just imagine the taste, sweet heat, my favourite. I also love watermelon for smoking ribs. So good.
How did you know that sweet & spicy BBQ sauces are my fave?? 😉 This sounds and looks delicious!
What a fun combination of flavors!! Love Sriracha, I’ve mixed it with grape jelly before, which was actually a really good spicy, sweet combo. But this recipe sounds so much better!!
Oooh, I love the idea of the sriracha mixed with grape jelly. Sounds yummy!
What a flavor combo! I don’t think I’d ever think to make a strawberry BBQ sauce. I wonder if I can sneak this by my husband who hates strawberries??? I love the stemware! Those chocolate covered strawberries are so cute!!
Thank you so much, Karyn. I’m glad you like the glassware.
Regarding the BBQ sauce; since the strawberries cook down, their flavor is a bit milder than eating a whole, fresh berry. I’m still not sure if your husband would appreciate the flavor since he’s not a strawberry lover 😉
Fabulous on grilled chicken!
Glad you agree!! Thanks.
It is strawberry season…what a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I’m happy to share, Jennifer. Enjoy the recipe!
