- • 1/3 cup cider vinegar

I don't know about y'all, but I love a good, chunky BBQ sauce. It can go with anything like ribs, wings, pulled pork, or just as a good dipping sauce. Everyone has their own version of barbecue sauce, but this is a good ketchup or tomato-based barbecue sauce. I personally love both, so whatever your preference, BBQ sauce is loved by all. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can let it cool and puree it in a blender.
Add this BBQ sauce to your BBQ Chicken Salad Biscuits or Lemon Thyme Wings.
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the onions and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant. Add the sugar and cook, stirring, until it melts, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
