Recipe Notes

There are millions of variations of barbecue sauce, of course. Everyone has their favorite and their magic ingredients. This is one recipe where you can get creative easily and likely not mess up your dinner.

Smoked paprika gives this simple and quick sauce a lot of depth of flavor. Use a spicier version like hot paprika or even Chilean merken to really bring a new flavor to your next barbecue.

This is great on almost anything – boneless, skinless chicken thighs are especially easy. You can grill pork tenderloin, chicken, burgers, fish, or even tofu with this sauce and it will be delicious.

"You can grill on anything, ... When I was traveling around the world researching The Barbecue! Bible, I saw people grilling in hubcaps, and the barbecue was great."
