Food Recipe

Cue the BBQ recipes this holiday week! For me, it’s all about the sauce. THIS sauce! I love any and all BBQ sauces, so it’s hard for me to pick a favorite. I love sweet sauces, smoky sauces, bold sauces, even spicy sauces! So I created this recipe to incorporate all of my favorite elements using simple ingredients.

This sauce is fantastic on grilled chicken drumsticks, hamburgers, ribs, anything! And the best part, this sauce can be totally customized. Use your imagination and make it your own, but I guarantee you’ll WOW your guests with this sauce at any get-together!
