about this recipe

few ingredients quick & easy make ahead

Sweet, tangy, smokey, and just a little bit spicy, this bbq sauce is perfect to serve up with chicken, slathered on ribs, poured over pulled pork, and as a marinade for just about anything. The best part is that it only takes a few minutes on the stovetop to thicken up!

STEP 1:

Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Bring to a boil & cook for 5 minutes.

STEP 2:

Allow to cool to room temperature & use or store in the refrigerator.

For a tangier sauce, add more vinegar. For a sweeter option add more brown sugar. Use molasses in place of some or all the honey. To adjust the spice level, add more chipotle for more spice and less chipotle for less spice.
