Why This Recipe Works

While any hot sauce would suffice for our BBQ Sauce, we recommend Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. We found that adding a little liquid smoke to the sauce imparted a welcome smoky flavor.

Instructions

  1. Whisk ketchup, molasses, vinegar, hot sauce, and liquid smoke in medium bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2.Enjoy!
