Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Sweet Tangy Barbecue Sauce.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, water, light brown sugar, white wine vinegar, white sugar, honey, orange juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, cornstarch, and cayenne pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking frequently to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist tasting it! Once thickened, remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using. This sauce is perfect for slathering on grilled meats, using as a dipping sauce, or even drizzling over roasted vegetables. Enjoy your homemade barbecue sauce!

Serve this barbecue sauce with grilled chicken, ribs, or as a dipping sauce for fries and veggies. It's also great on burgers and sandwiches!
