For easier homemade barbecue sauce recipes that taste more traditional, check out Buchko’s Homemade Barbecue Sauce. Buchko said: “This is good for baking chicken or ribs in. Easily doubled or tripled for your needs. Vegetables are also really good cooked in this sauce.” The recipe calls for a chopped onion, a green bell pepper, ketchup, mustard powder, brown sugar, and a few other basic ingredients, requiring only 20 minutes of preparation time.
A list of the “Top 10 Barbecue Sauce Recipes” includes Daddy’s Big Style Barbecue Sauce. This Carolina-style barbecue sauce is a combination of vinegar and mustard (as opposed to ketchup and molasses). The recipe offers a combination of sweet and tangy flavors expelled from the ingredients of ¾ cup of cider vinegar and ¼ cup of light brown sugar. Toss in ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper a teaspoon each of white and black pepper, and a tablespoon of hickory flavoring, and you’ve got a little something to please any barbecue palate.
