Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and water over medium heat.
Add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the ingredients are well blended.
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Use immediately to baste grilled chicken, or transfer to a jar or airtight container for storage in the refrigerator for up to one week.
