HONEY BARBECUE DIPPING SAUCE (LOW FAT)

This is similar to KFC's but in my opinion much improved -- you will need to adjust the honey to suit taste, for a bit of heat add in a pinch of cayenne pepper, plan ahead this sauce needs to be chilled for a minimum of 6 hours before using or overnight the longer chilling time the better -- this makes a great dipping sauce for chicken strips see recipe #79996

HONEY BARBECUE SAUCE



Honey Barbecue Sauce image

Try this on baby back ribs or grilled chicken. The beer in it gives a great flavor- reminds me of my dad's cooking. His favorite thing to Q was always pork steaks, but I think that was a St. Louis tradition. He always preferred shoulder blade steaks over sliced pork butt, but my mom differed with him on that opinion. I liked it either way.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Honey: Use high-quality honey, such as raw or Manuka honey. This will give your sauce a richer flavor and more nutrients.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to give your sauce a subtle kick. You can also add a teaspoon of grated ginger or minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Experiment with Different Vinegars: Instead of apple cider vinegar, try using balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar. Each vinegar will give your sauce a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Use a Variety of Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, cumin, and coriander.
  • Let the Sauce Simmer: Simmering the sauce for a longer period of time will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Taste and Adjust: Be sure to taste your sauce as you are making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can add more honey, vinegar, or spices until you reach the desired flavor.
