Kenny Rogers Barbecue Sauce is thick, sweet, and perfect for chicken, ribs, and pork. This rich sauce is quick and easy to make and have on hand for grilling and barbecuing.
The Keny Rogers restaurant chain started in 1991 and expanded in the US and Canada. They specialized in wood-roasted chicken and would go on to expand to barbeque ribs, turkey and more. While most of them have closed in the US and Canada, they are still thriving in the Philippines.

Living in South Korea I don’t have access to apple sauce so I made my own. It came out good but very thick. Not liquidy at all.

Making it right now. It is currently doing its 15min simmer with the gas down low.
Smells pretty good. Might be nice with some raisins added or something as the spices give it that fruity smell.
Am going to use it to baste chicken drumsticks tonight as a tester. Will let you know how it goes.

Having problems getting the applesauce texture out of it any suggestions?

I would mix it in a blender for about 30 seconds.
