Big Guy's Delicious BBQ Sauce

Step 1

Start by melting the butter and garlic together in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion and cook it slowly, stirring often, until it’s soft and just starting to turn golden—this should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Next, stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, black pepper, paprika, white pepper, dry mustard, ginger, cayenne pepper, and thyme. Let everything cook together for a minute or two so the flavors blend. Then, add the brown sugar and let the mixture bubble for about a minute. Pour in the chicken stock, ketchup, molasses, Dijon mustard, liquid smoke, and vinegar, stirring well to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens, which usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes. Once it’s ready, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit before brushing it onto your favorite meat.
