Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Canadian
Serves: 2 cups

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup chicken broth
  2. 1/2 cup ketchup
  3. 1/4 cup vinegar
  4. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  5. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  8. 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
  2. In a medium saucepan, pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and place it over medium heat on the stove.
  3. Once the chicken broth starts to warm, add 1/2 cup of ketchup to the saucepan, stirring gently to combine the two ingredients.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the mixture, continuing to stir to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  5. Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, followed by 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar is completely dissolved into the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder, mixing thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly throughout the sauce.
  7. Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of paprika for an extra layer of flavor and color. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  8. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  10. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes before using or storing.
  11. This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of barbecue sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips

  1. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the most authentic flavor possible.
  2. Stir constantly while simmering to prevent the sauce from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  3. For a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender to blend the sauce before simmering.
  4. Adjust the heat by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper if you want a spicier version.
  5. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't worry if it seems slightly thin while cooking.
  6. For best results, let the sauce cool completely before storing to allow flavors to fully develop.
  7. This sauce is incredibly versatile - use it as a dipping sauce, marinade, or basting sauce for grilled meats.
