Inside: After making this homemade BBQ sauce recipe, you will never want to use store bought again!
If there is one type of sauce that we always have to have at our house, it is BBQ sauce. My husband is a huge fan and you will find him dipping everything in it. There are a few brands that he likes, but his favorite is definitely the homemade version that I like to make.
I like making as many things homemade as possible so that I know exactly what is going in the food I am serving. Of course, it isn’t practical to not have anything from the store, but this is one great option.
This BBQ sauce goes great in a variety of meals. One of my favorites is to use it for the BBQ sauce in this tasty BBQ pulled chicken recipe. The tangy flavors of this barbecue sauce are a perfect complement to the chicken.
