Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, chicken broth, white vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine the liquid base of the sauce.
Add the dried mustard powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and hot sauce. Mix well to evenly blend the spices into the sauce.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Once the sauce starts to boil, lower the heat to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (add more vinegar for tanginess, sugar for sweetness, or hot sauce for heat).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the BBQ sauce cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a dip for chicken, fries, or your favorite sides. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
