Homemade Spicy BBQ Sauce is the Best
We’re making some homemade bbq sauce in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen today, my friends. Care to join me? Everyone needs a good homemade bbq sauce recipe, and this one delivers on all levels. It brings a nice balance of sweet and heat and overall flavor that’s great on anything for the grilling and bbq season. Plus, it’s very easy to customize to your own preferences, from the heat factor to the level of sweetness to the seasonings used. Feel free to mix things up for a more personal experience. My preferred version uses jalapeno peppers for a nice level of every day heat along with honey and brown sugar for sweetness, and bourbon for an extra special finishing flavor that we just love. It’s quite a bit like a Kansas City style bbq sauce, with a great balance of heat and sweet. I like to make an extra large batch and keep it in the refrigerator for quick and easy grilling throughout the week. I’m ready to fire up the grill right now. How about you? Let’s talk about how to make bbq sauce, shall we? Boom! Done! Your sweet and tangy and spicy homemade bbq sauce is ready to go! Use it on anything from the grill, from BBQ chicken wings to bbq chicken pizza, grilled pork chops, grilled chicken, pork ribs, all of your favorites. Option 2 - Process the Sauce. Transfer the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth for a thicker version. Use as desired, or strain to thin it out. Enjoy! Such a great bbq sauce recipe. One of our favorites for sure. That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my homemade bbq sauce recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you. Keep it spicy!
