Basic Bar Be Cue (BBQ, Bar-B-Que) Sauce and HOT Wings Sauce

Bar-be-Que Sauce


This is a very basic sauce recipe I found on the internet.  It is not sugar-free, but it is gluten free and soy free.  It would be more allergy friendly if organic ketchup were used.


2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar


Combine all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Mix them well and heat over medium heat until just boiling.  Simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.  Excellent when used as a sauce for baked chicken wings -- just use this recipe and substitute this sauce for the one listed.






HOT Wings Sauce


Combine in a medium sauce pan


1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (spicy brown would also work well)
3 tablespoons hot chili sauce (Asian style)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter


Over medium heat, whisk all ingredients together until well combined.  Excellent used as a sauce for chicken wings as in this recipe.
