A good homemade barbecue sauce is a must in your kitchen. You can mix it together quickly, and always have a versatile sauce to complement pulled pork, chicken, ham or even burgers. Here’s how I usually make barbecue sauce, although I may add or deleted based on what I have. Just have fun with it and taste as you go.
Barbecue Sauce
A tangy, spicy, slightly sweet barbecue sauce that's good on pork, chicken, or just about anything.
