Tangy Bourbon-Chipotle BBQ Sauce: Cooking With Courtney

From Feed the Soul Blog:

A good BBQ sauce recipe, in my opinion, should be three things: tangy, smoky and sweet. It gets bonus points for a subtle kick of heat that doesn’t overwhelm the entire flavor profile.

This easy homemade BBQ sauce recipe does it all with just 5 ingredients! You only need to let it cook for about 15 minutes on the stovetop, though you’ll definitely get a better flavor if you have the time to let it simmer longer.

The stars of this BBQ sauce are bourbon whiskey and canned chipotle peppers in adobo. It stores very well in the refrigerator, which means you can save your leftovers for your next culinary adventure.

You can use this as a marinade for chicken or other meats, or maybe add a dab into your quesadilla. Cooking up a batch of this sauce makes for a great weekend project so you always have BBQ sauce at your disposal.

No matter what the meal, this flexible, handy dandy BBQ sauce recipe is perfect for those evenings when you’re ready to fire up the grill, but you’re almost out of sauce. Maybe you’re wanting to save some cash, or are just feeling creative and love a DIY.
