Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, for heat)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and honey over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Slowly add the water to the saucepan to thin out the sauce slightly. Stir well to blend.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Brush the sauce onto chicken while grilling, or use it as a marinade or dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
