Smokey Chipotle Orange Barbecue Sauce image

I came up with this delicious barbecue sauce trying to keep in mind what I could have on hand in the pantry or in the freezer in a pinch. Use this as a finishing sauce (not a marinade) during the last 7-10 minutes if grilling or the last 30 minutes if cooking in the oven.

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (or ginger juice, 1 inch of frozen thawed, see below)
4 garlic cloves
1 small red onion

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and puree in a food processor and blend until smooth. Bring to a boil in a tall saucepan, drop to a low simmer and cook, stirring often, until thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Two chipotle make this lightly smokey and spicy. Use more if you like things spicy! Freeze the left over chipotle from the can in a covered ice cube tray or pressed flat in freezer safe plastic wrap for future use.
  • Freeze the left over fresh ginger washed, air dried, not peeled and cut into one inch pieces. When you need 2 tsps, just take out an inch, let it defrost in a small bowl and squeeze out the juice. Fantastic!
  • This is enough to cover one whole chicken or 2 baby back ribs with some sauce left over for those who want a little more -- .

I would have liked this sauce to be a little thicker. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

I wasn't sure how I would like the orange in this sauce, but it actually works really well. It adds a nice sweetness and complexity.

This sauce is a bit spicy, but it's not too hot. It's the perfect amount of heat for me.
