Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons tomato paste (76g)
- 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock (236ml)
Instructions
- In a small or medium-sized saucepan, combine all ingredients except chicken stock and whisk together to combine.
- Gradually whisk in chicken stock until completely combined.
- Turn stovetop heat to medium-low and whisk occasionally until sugar is dissolved (about 3 minutes).
- Increase heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until barbecue sauce is thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Note that the sauce has a tendency to splatter as it cooks and thickens, to keep your kitchen tidy and your skin and clothes unscathed, you can place a lid crookedly over the pot, leaving a gap on one edge for steam to escape.
- Allow sauce to cool then use as desired or in any recipe where barbecue sauce is called for.
