  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional, for extra smokiness)

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix thoroughly to incorporate the spices into the liquid.

Stir in the honey and liquid smoke (if using) to add sweetness and depth of flavor.

Step 4

Add 1/4 cup of water to the mixture to adjust the consistency. Stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning by adding a pinch of salt, more sugar, or an extra splash of vinegar if needed.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool completely.

Step 9

Use immediately as a marinade or dipping sauce, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
