Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, honey, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until smooth.
- Once the mixture is well combined, add the garlic powder and onion powder. Stir the mixture again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- As the sauce heats up, taste it and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. If you like it spicier, consider adding more sriracha sauce at this point.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together and thicken the sauce slightly.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness and flavor, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the Honey Sriracha BBQ Sauce to a clean jar or airtight container for storage. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
- This sauce is perfect for grilling, marinating, or as a dipping sauce. Enjoy it on your favorite meats, veggies, or even as a condiment for sandwiches!
Tips
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality ketchup and honey for the best flavor. Organic options can enhance the taste of your sauce.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder sauce, start with less sriracha and gradually add more until you reach your desired spice level. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Simmer for Flavor: Allow the sauce to simmer for the full 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This will also help thicken the sauce for a perfect consistency.
- Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last up to two weeks, making it a great make-ahead option for your BBQ gatherings.
- Versatile Use: Don’t limit this sauce to just BBQ! It works wonderfully as a marinade, a dipping sauce for appetizers, or even as a zesty condiment on sandwiches and burgers.
