Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine honey, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until completely smooth and well incorporated, ensuring no dry spice clumps remain.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning or sticking.
- Bring the sauce mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to low and continuing to stir.
- Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken, but not become too reduced.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 2-3 minutes, which will help it further thicken and develop a more concentrated flavor.
- Transfer sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container for storage.
- Allow sauce to cool completely at room temperature before covering and refrigerating.
- Use immediately on wings or store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Use high-quality BBQ sauce as your base – the better the sauce, the more incredible your final result will be.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure no dry spice clumps remain, which could create uneven flavor distribution.
- Stir continuously while heating to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, consistent texture.
- Keep heat at medium-low to allow flavors to meld without reducing the sauce too quickly.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before storing to help it thicken naturally.
- Store in a clean, airtight glass container to maintain freshness and flavor.
- For extra depth, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce if you want a spicier version.
