This post is for the original, non-spicy version of Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce. Also check out my post on their spicy Japanese barbecue sauce!

Japanese Barbecue Sauce makes me sad. Sad that I went so long before buying a bottle and squeezing it onto some wings, that is! My goodness me is this ever good stuff! I mean crazy good. Lightly sweet and lightly salty, it’s what teriyaki sauce wishes it could be. I cannot stop eating wings covered in this sauce. And I’m not afraid to admit it, I double-sauced my wings.

“Oh. My. Goodness.” Good.

Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue sauce is a little on the thin side. Normally that would be a minus on wings. You won’t want your sauce to end up at the bottom of your plate, you need it to stick to your wings. Well, this sauce has so much fantastic flavor that you don’t need it to be super thick. Not at all. A light coating on your wings is sufficient. You don’t have to slather it on deep and thick.

If you want, do like I do and put a small bowl of extra sauce on the side for dipping. You won’t regret it. I use condiment cups for sauce. Any sauce. This sauce. Ranch. Blue cheese. Whatever. They’re great for sauce. Just the right size.

Other Stuff

There are other things in life besides wings. Or so I’m told. This sauce is great on them too. One of my favorites is to steam or blanch broccoli, then air fry it or throw it on a hot griddle for a bit. I then toss it in a bit of this sauce right before serving. And I don’t toss it in cold sauce, either. If it’s been refrigerated I let it come to room temperature first. There’s no reason to toss hot broccoli in a cold sauce. Or wings for that matter!
