For a milder sauce, start with 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne pepper and adjust to your preference. Feel free to experiment with different types of hot sauce to customize the flavor profile. A smoky chipotle sauce can add a unique twist. This sauce is best served with pulled pork, but it's also delicious on ribs, chicken, and even grilled vegetables. If you don't have cider vinegar, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar.

Feb 9, 2023This is the real deal! Just like the BBQ I had in North Carolina. I reduced the cayenne a bit for my kids, and it was perfect.

Oct 5, 2022Finally, a BBQ sauce that isn't loaded with sugar! The vinegar tang is exactly what I was looking for.
