Discover New Sauces to Match Every Texas-Sized Craving

Make 2025 the year you take your taste buds on a world tour without leaving your grill. Goode Co.'s specialty sauces are just the ticket if you’re hunting for the ultimate gift for the BBQ lover. With Goode Co.’s BBQ Three-Sauce Gift Box, you can explore bold international flavors while staying true to the essence of the Lone Star State. Authentic Texas-style BBQ sauce is in a league of its own: bold, a little sweet, with just the right kick of spice, all crafted to complement the meat without overpowering it. 

BBQ Sauce-Goode’s Original

For instance, Goode’s Original BBQ Sauce has been handcrafted and has been a Texas staple since we first fired up the pit in 1977. True to Texas barbecue tradition, this sauce starts with a tomato base and then builds up with a mix of spices and subtle sweetness. If you’ve never tried our popular sauce, why not add it to a new piece of meat, such as lamb, for a Texas twist on your grill game? 

Jalapeno Garlic Sauce

Nothing hollers Tex-Mex more than Goode Co’s Jalapeno Garlic BBQ sauce. Packed with a bold and spicy kick, Goode Co.’s Jalapeno garlic BBQ sauce is perfect for folks looking to shake things up. We’ve blended fresh jalapenos with just the right amount of heat and a heap of flavor to make every bite as unforgettable as a Texas sunset. 

Give it a try. Your Tex-Mex game will never be the same! And don’t stop there- our specialty sauce is perfect for taking your Tex-Mex recipes to the next level. Think brisket enchiladas, BBQ chicken tacos, or even fajitas with a smoky meat kick.

Heavy Garlic Sauce

Garlic is not just healthy-it’s a Texas barbecue essential. Goode Co.’s Heavy Garlic Sauce is as Texas-made as it gets, bringing sweet, bold, and downright unforgettable flavor straight to your next backyard BBQ. This sauce is crafted to cut through the smoky goodness of mesquite barbecue, adding a bright, tangy kick that’ll take your meat from good to downright legendary.

Whether you’re throwing brisket, ribs, or chicken on the grill, our heavy garlic sauce is the perfect finishing touch for a grilling aficionado aiming to impress. 

Kick Your Texas BBQ Rub Game Up a Notch

A good rub is a mixture of spices, herbs, salt, and sometimes even sugar, all working together to bring out the big flavor, tenderize your meat, and give it that perfect crust. With Goode Co.’s Four Spice Gift Box, you’ve got everything you need to elevate your BBQ game, Texas-style. Whether you’re firing up the pit or seasoning for the smoker, these rubs are your go-to for making your meat unforgettable.

Mesquite Mix

This one-of-a-kind rub is an authentic Texas treasure, packing the perfect blend of spice and seasoning with a lemon blend twist. Our Mesquite mix, available in 27 oz, 12.6 oz, and 4oz, pairs like a charm with beef, like our Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket. If you’re looking to blaze new trails in 2025, try the Mesquite mix on duck or salmon.

Brisket Rub

The Goode Co. Brisket Rub is as legendary as Texas BBQ itself. This rub isn’t just for briskets, though. It’s a game changer for smoked meats of all kinds. Try it on your hamburger patties, Sunday night roasts, and even sprinkle it on grilled vegetables such as corn on the cob as a new Texas barbecue tradition. With this rub in your pantry, every cookout will be unforgettable.

Rib Rub

If you’re a fan of our hand-seasoned Slow-Smoked BBQ Ribs at Goode Co., it’s time to grab a bottle of our Rib Rub. Packed with sweet basil, thyme, ginger, and ancho chile, it’s got everything you need to bring bold flavor to your holiday table. And the best part? It’s easy to use, making holiday meal prep a breeze!

Try it on chicken breasts, pork shoulder, or even beans. Whether you’re eating whole or refried, a sprinkle of this rub will give them a smoky, spicy kick that’ll have your guests lining up for seconds. 

Poultry Rub

The Goode Co. Poultry Rub is pure Texas perfection, crafted with a blend of dried herbs and spices, including thyme, sage, rosemary, and marjoram. Its complex flavor profile is bold enough to stand out yet subdued enough to let the natural flavors of chicken shine.

This rub is just as good on turkey, quail, duck, and any other bird you’re cooking up. Hosting a Texas-style BBQ at home? This poultry run is your secret weapon for turning out tender, flavorful meats that’ll have everyone talking about your grill skills!

Steak Shake

Goode Co.'s Steak Shake is bound to become a must-have grilling essential. It contains a distinctive blend of seasoning and spices, such as paprika, sweet basil, thyme, and brown sugar. Whether you’re fixing to throw some steaks on the grill or looking to add a Texas twist to sausage like our Sausage Sampler, roasted veggies, and even your homemade pasta sauce recipe, it's sure to please. 

Seafood Shake

Our Creole-inspired Seafood Shake is not just for ocean eats like shrimp, crawfish, or catfish-though it sure does bring out the best in them. This blend of bold southern flavors is as versatile as it gets. Use it to season your batter or breading for deep frying, coleslaw, queso, or mac and cheese recipes.
