Sun-kissed sweetness with island spice
Produced in Norfolk by Hot Star →
Hot Star Honey’s Caribbean BBQ is a rich, sweet and smoky BBQ sauce combining British honey with Caribbean-inspired spices, chilli and a subtle smoky finish.
Made for anyone who likes their barbecue sauce with more character, Caribbean BBQ balances the natural sweetness and stickiness of honey with warming spice and a gentle chilli heat. The result is a wonderfully versatile sauce that can be used for glazing, marinating, dipping, drizzling or brushing onto food as it cooks.
What does Hot Star Honey Caribbean BBQ taste like?
Expect sweetness first, followed by warming Caribbean spice, gentle chilli heat and a smoky finish.
The British honey gives the sauce its naturally rich sweetness and sticky texture, making it particularly good as a BBQ glaze. The chilli brings warmth rather than simply overwhelming the other flavours, while the spices and smoke give it the deeper savoury character you want from a good barbecue sauce.
It is bold enough to transform something simple, but balanced enough that you can be generous with it.
What can you use Caribbean BBQ sauce with?
This is one of those sauces that deserves to be used for considerably more than the occasional barbecue.
Try it with:
- Chicken – brush over thighs, wings or drumsticks before finishing on the barbecue or in the oven
- Pork and ribs – ideal where the combination of honey, smoke and chilli really comes into its own
- Burgers – use instead of an ordinary BBQ sauce for extra sweetness and spice
- Roasted or grilled vegetables – particularly good with peppers, sweet potato, squash and corn
- Halloumi – the sweet chilli warmth works brilliantly against salty grilled cheese
- Rice bowls – drizzle over chicken, vegetables or tofu to add instant flavour
- Dipping – serve alongside chips, wedges, chicken or grilled vegetables
It can also be used as a sticky BBQ glaze. Brush it onto meat or vegetables towards the end of cooking, allowing the honey to caramelise and create a glossy, flavour-packed coating.
Sweet, smoky, spicy – and extremely versatile
What makes Hot Star Honey Caribbean BBQ interesting is the balance. This isn't simply about making something hot. Honey, Caribbean-inspired spices, chilli and smoke each bring something different, creating a sauce with sweetness, warmth and depth.
Keep a bottle in the cupboard for barbecue season, certainly – but don't put it away when summer ends. Use it for oven-cooked chicken, homemade burgers, roasted vegetables, wraps and quick midweek meals whenever something needs an easy hit of sweet, smoky Caribbean-inspired flavour.
