This Sriracha bbq sauce is sweet, sour, spicy and perfect on anything that comes off the grill or the smoker. And it only takes a few minutes to make!
Bbq sauce ingredients and notes:
Barbecue sauce is typically made with a tomato base (like ketchup), vinegar, honey or sugar and other flavorings. The bbq sauce in this recipe also contains Sriracha sauce for a spicy and delicious chili flavor.
- Sriracha sauce is a very spicy, thick hot sauce that's made with chili peppers, garlic, sugar, vinegar and salt. It adds an intensely spicy, sweet, sour and salty flavor to anything you add it to.
- I recommend dark brown sugar (rather than light brown sugar) for this recipe. Dark brown sugar has more molasses and therefore a more complex flavor that works well in this sauce.
- Note that there is no liquid smoke in this recipe. Therefore, the sauce does not have the smokiness that some store-bought bbq sauces have. Instead this sauce has a complex but very pure, sweet, sour and spicy flavor profile. If you want to make the sauce smoky, you can add a drop or two of liquid smoke.
How to make it:

How to serve it:
This spicy barbecue sauce is incredibly versatile. Slather it on grilled or smoked meat, such as ribs, pork chops, chicken, steaks and burgers. Or, use it as a dipping sauce for chicken wings, shrimp or even French fries!
How to store it:
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
