  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is the key to the flavor of these peanuts, so make sure you use a sauce that you enjoy. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a good balance of sweet and smoky flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the peanuts, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, the peanuts will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the peanuts until they are crispy: The peanuts are done cooking when they are crispy and golden brown. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become too hard.
  • Let the peanuts cool before serving: Once the peanuts are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to crisp up even more.
