Secret's in the sauce
STRATHAM — Since the start of Stratham Fair, the Crow family has been attracting locals to its chicken barbecue and the famous sauce which remains top secret.
When Stratham Fair first got started 44 years ago, Dwight Crow volunteered to grill the chicken for the public, as long as someone volunteered to make the sauce. A "little old lady down the street" agreed to make the sauce, and that same secret recipe has been a part of the Crow family barbecue at the Stratham Fair ever since. "She's still in town, she's still down the street, and she's still making the sauce," said Dwight's son Dan Crow, who is now in charge of the chicken barbecue at the fair.
Every year when the fair approaches, Crow goes down the street and visits Elizabeth Noyes, who has been making the secret sauce for more than four decades, using the same delicious recipe.
The crisp, clean and tangy flavor of the sauce invites many guesses as to the ingredients, said Crow, but the recipe remains top secret.
Although Crow has his suspicions about what's in the sauce, the ingredients have never been revealed to him, he said. The recipe, however, has been passed down to Noyes' son and grandson, he said.
Just like the special barbecue sauce, the Crow family is found at the Stratham Fair every year, preparing meals surrounded by familiar faces. This Sunday, July 24 at 11 a.m., about 10 friends and family members of the Crows will be grilling at the dining tent of the fairgrounds, lead by Crow and his son Josh, an emergency medical technician and firefighter. Crow said his father Dwight still oversees the process.
Each year, the chicken is cooked over charcoal briquettes, which makes the meat well cooked and the outside crispy.
"It's a real hot fire and it's really good crispy skin," said Crow, who is also president of the Stratham Volunteer Fire Association.
This year, the Crow family is preparing 400 meals, which will include a half-chicken, corn on the cob, watermelon, rolls, and drinks. All proceeds will go to benefit the Stratham Volunteer Fire Department.
The Stratham Fair will begin this Thursday and last until Sunday night. The Crows' chicken barbecue will take place on Sunday at 11 a.m., at the dining tent.

They had a owned and operated a restaurant in Harrison for three years, which gave them experience in food service, but it still took five years and a lot of trial and error to get from canned anchovies to bottles of barbecue sauce.

We like our barbecue sauce a little on the spicy side. A heaping dose of minced chipotles in adobo adds just the right amount of heat and smokiness to the sauce. The best part is that it takes 10 minutes to make and there are no preservatives or weird sweeteners.
Whip up a batch. Or a double batch. And if you go through it as fast as we do, maybe even a triple batch.
