Homemade BBQ Sauce
Report
Such an easy barbecue sauce recipe! It's sweet, smoky, tangy and deliciously robust. It pairs perfectly with chicken and pork.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup ketchup (preferably without corn syrup)
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp molasses
- 3 Tbsp apple juice or apple juice concentrate, thawed
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 2 tsp natural hickory smoke flavor, or to taste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce heat to low. Cover partially with lid (to reduce splattering) and let simmer 8 minutes or until slightly reduced and harsh vinegar flavor is toned down.
- Let cool slightly. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Add some heat, try it with cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to taste.
- Replace honey with brown sugar if that's what you have.
- Substitute hickory smoke flavor with mesquite smoke flavor.
- Add 2 Tbsp butter to make it rich.
- Try adding other spices like chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and even a little cinnamon or cocoa powder.
- Baste over grilled chicken (bone-in or boneless, skin-on or skinless), see notes in post above for directions on cooking or grilling.
- Toss with pulled pork sandwiches or pulled chicken for sandwiches.
- Spread over smoked or slow cooked ribs.
- Serve as a dip for chicken nuggets or chicken tenders.
- Use as a glaze on meatloaf.
- Add some to baked beans for a flavor boost.
- Try it with little smokies.
- Use it as a sauce for bbq chicken pizza.
