This certainly isn’t a complicated sauce, but it makes ribs and chicken taste like I have been slaving over a hot grill all day. The ingredients make a great sauce, but you could adjust the quantities or add something with a kick to make it your own. The brown sugar, ketchup soy sauce combo are a good base to tweak from there.

Prep time – 5 minutes / Cook time – 10 minutes

  • 1/3 c. Brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. ketchup
  • 2 T. Cider vinegar
  • 2 T. Soy sauce
  • 1 T. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 t. Dry mustard
  • 2 t. Garlic powder
  • 2 t. Onion powder
  • 1 t. Ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat until just bubbling. Stirring continuously. Brush on ribs, chicken or brisket. Enjoy!
