Step 1
Start by stirring the hot water and chicken bouillon granules together in a large pot until the granules are fully dissolved. Then, add in the tomato sauce, vinegar, barbecue sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and mustard. Give everything a good stir to combine all the flavors. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently. Keep it cooking until the sauce thickens up nicely, which should take about an hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to help all the flavors meld together. Once it’s thick and flavorful, your sauce is ready to enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This sauce offers a perfect balance of sweet honey and tangy vinegar, capturing the true flavors of Carolina BBQ. Its rich, smoky undertones make every bite unforgettable. It’s easy to make and adds a homemade touch to any grilled dish.
How to serve
This sauce pairs wonderfully with pulled pork, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables. Drizzle it over burgers or use it as a dipping sauce for fries. It also adds a delicious glaze when brushed on ribs during the last minutes of grilling.
Storage & leftovers
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir well before each use, as natural ingredients may separate over time. For longer storage, freeze in small portions and thaw as needed.
