Gold Label Rich & Smoky Competition-Inspired

Kinder's Gold Label Founder's Reserve BBQ Sauce (15.5 oz)

The one sauce John Kinder called good enough to carry his name. Founder's Reserve is inspired by John Kinder's original competition sauce — a rich, deeply layered blend of brown sugar, garlic, warm spices, and a hint of smoky chipotle that hits every note a great BBQ sauce should.

This is the sauce you reach for when the cook matters. The brown sugar base brings molasses-backed sweetness, the chipotle adds just enough smoky heat to keep things interesting, and the mustard note underneath gives it a complexity you don't find in off-the-shelf sauces. Competition pedigree. Everyday versatility.

  • 🔥 Inspired by John Kinder's original competition recipe
  • 🔥 Rich brown sugar base with garlic and warm spices
  • 🔥 Smoky chipotle chili depth without overwhelming heat
  • 🔥 Gold Label quality — as good as it gets
🧩 Available to Choose In: Our Build Your Own Bundle — mix and match 5 seasonings, sauces, and grilling tools for $49.99 with free US shipping.

Glaze, Finish & Serve

The brown sugar base caramelizes beautifully under heat — time your application right and you'll get a deep, lacquered crust that competition pitmasters live for.

  • Apply in the last 15–20 minutes of cooking for a caramelized glaze
  • Layer two coats on ribs for maximum crust and color
  • Serve warm as a dipping sauce alongside wings or tenders
  • Stir into baked beans for smoky depth
  • Use as a burger sauce straight from the bottle
