Hannay’s Chinese BBQ 300ml is described as a deeply savoury and subtly sweet sauce inspired by Cantonese-style char siu. The product page highlights it as ideal for roast pork, chicken wings, ribs, braai meats, stir-fries and dipping. The sauce includes ingredients such as soya sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, plum sauce, ginger, chilli, Chinese 5 spice and aniseed.
Why Chinese BBQ Works So Well on a South African Braai
South African braai flavours are usually smoky, flame-grilled and bold. Chinese BBQ sauce adds a different layer: sweet, salty, savoury, spicy and aromatic. When it hits the heat, the sugars in the sauce help create a glossy glaze and caramelised edges.
The secret is timing. Do not add the sauce too early over very hot flames, because sweet sauces can burn. First cook the meat almost all the way through, then brush on Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Sauce during the final few minutes so it becomes sticky, shiny and full of flavour.

Sticky Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Braai Ribs
A simple braai recipe using Hannay’s Chinese BBQ 300ml as a marinade, basting sauce and finishing glaze.
Ingredients
- 1.2 kg pork ribs or beef short ribs
- 4 to 6 tablespoons Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger, optional
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, spring onion or fresh coriander
Method
- Pat the ribs dry and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Mix Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Sauce with olive oil, garlic, ginger and lemon juice or vinegar.
- Coat the ribs with half of the sauce mixture and allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavour, marinate overnight in the fridge.
- Prepare your braai with medium heat. Avoid placing the ribs directly over very high flames.
- Braai the ribs slowly, turning often, until cooked through and tender.
- During the last 10 to 15 minutes, brush on more Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Sauce and turn regularly so the sauce becomes sticky and caramelised.
- Remove from the heat, rest for 5 minutes, then brush with one final layer of sauce before serving.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, spring onion or coriander for extra colour and flavour.
Braai Tip
For the best sticky glaze, braai the meat first and baste near the end. This prevents the sauce from burning and gives the ribs a beautiful glossy finish.
How to Use Chinese BBQ Sauce on Different Braai Meats
Hannay’s Chinese BBQ Sauce can be used in different ways depending on what you are cooking. Here are easy braai ideas for your next weekend meal.
Marinate the wings, braai until cooked, then baste again during the final few minutes for sticky Chinese BBQ wings.
Brush over pork belly slices near the end of cooking for sweet, savoury and caramelised edges.
