  • Taste your sauce as you go. This is the best way to make sure that it is the way you want it. Adjust the ingredients as needed until you are happy with the taste.
  • Use your BBQ sauce on everything! It's great on chicken, pork, beef, and fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or as a spread for sandwiches.
