Brown Sugar Bourbon Barbeque Sauce – Ash's In The Kitchen

Of all the BBQ Sauce recipes I’ve made over the years, this one’s my favorite. It’s sweet, tangy, well balanced and has a little kick. It goes great on grilled pork chops, chicken wings, breasts and thighs plus shrimp. It keeps in the fridge for a couple of months, which is handy for weeknight meals and quick lunches. You can certainly omit or reduce the bourbon, but I think it gives it a little pluck!

For a vegetarian option toss with fried zucchini!
