Laurie's BBQ Sauce

This is the BBQ sauce I grew up on. It's my all-time favorite. It's the perfect blend of seasonings and tastes SO good on the grill with BBQ Chicken. It smells a little strong of vinegar while it's cooking but doesn't taste like it when you eat it. Try it tonight!

I have doubled the original recipe because it will save in the fridge for a few weeks and then I don’t have to make it again for a while before I use it up! I usually just pour it into a canning jar and stick it in the fridge. This recipe is super easy to make and will only take about 5 minutes of prep and 20 minutes to cook. Store in a quart canning jar in the fridge.

If you're cooking for a crowd, throw your chicken pieces into a large roasting pan with about 1 cup of BBQ sauce and pre-bake until cooked through. Then, throw on the grill and baste with fresh BBQ sauce until it caramelizes. This ensures your chicken is thoroughly cooked and it only takes about 10 minutes of grill time depending on how much chicken you are cooking.
