Honey Garlic BBQ Sauce

I’ve been looking for a different BBQ sauce recipe and this is it! Like most recipes I like to tweek them to my liking. Instead of using 1 cup water I used 1 cup white wine vinegar. I omitted the salt, peppers and butter. This came out AMAZING!! Next time I make this I plan on using LESS cajun! This was a wee bit too much for me, but still good!

Easy to make and great flavor to the sauce

I just literally made this from scratch and I tasted it and allowed my kids to do the same. And we all love?? this is going to be another family staple.

I made the recipe as is. I really don’t know why everyone is crazy about it. The base of the sauce has way too much ketchup. I can see using a little bit, but not as much as what it asked for. I more than doubled the amount of honey to try to make it taste better, it didn’t help at all. Not really impressed. I’ve wasted my ingredients.

I love cooking stuff from scratch and me and my husband wanted to try something different than just doing buffalo sauce for chicken wings. Gave this recipe a try and we couldn’t get enough of it. Got such great flavor to it. If u haven’t tried it, I suggest u make it.

I am always searching for a barbecue sauce I like better and this is it! I’ve made it several times. I omit the water.

I got the honey part and the garlic part, but they just didn’t come together in the ketchup base in a way that seems balanced to us.

I used this sauce in barbecue chicken nachos with homemade tortilla chips. Since I prefer mild foods, I toned down the gentle heat by adding a little less Cajun seasoning and chili powder. It was a huge hit and I would definitely make this again!

I made this as written, and it was a little too spicy for us. I made it again, and dropped the garlic cloves to 6 instead of the whole bulb, and omitted the red pepper and the hot sauce and dropped the Cajun seasoning to 1 tsp and it had the perfect amount of spice for us. It’s a fantastically forgiving recipe and you can add more honey if you like or drop the garlic and it still comes out with an amazing flavor. It’s the only sauce my husband wants now.

This is the best BBQ sauce I have ever had. I used smokey paprika, med chili powder(for white), and a cup of coke for the water. It was wonderful. I cut back the hot sauce to about 1 tbsp and I stayed away from the cornstarch, butter and water because it didn’t need it. I will use this as a base and go from there. It made the best BBQ chicken. I can’t wait to use it on ribs. Thanks again for this recipe.

Perfect for my pulled chicken sandwiches, and just the right bite! AND because I was only cooking for myself and my husband, I have enough left for a second use! I did sweat the garlic in some olive oil first, and my pinches were maybe a bit large-ish, and I only used half the amount of butter listed. DELICIOUS!!!

I like to have a lot of varieties of bbq sauce to make as needed. This one is very good, but I didn’t need the cornstarch to thicken or the butter. Will file away to make every now and then along with our other favorite sauces.

I skip the whole simmering part which turns it into a fast, simple, and very flavorful sauce! I’ve tried it on chicken as well as ribs, and both came out fantastic. I only cook for my hubby and I, so I cut the recipe in half and that is plenty for us. I also took the liberty of adding 2 tbsp of Jack Daniel’s whiskey for an extra bite 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us!

i thought this was great also, much better than store bought. i used 1/2 the amount of garlic, none of the peppers or hot sauce and only 3/4 t. cajun as my family does not like spicy food. tasted it and was needing just a trickle of liquid smoke…delicious! also will be my go to BBQ sauce now.

Really delicious in chicken barbeque sandwiches. Made 1/4 of this recipe with only a few substitutions out of necessity: all brown sugar in place of the molasses, BBQ spice in place of the Cajun seasoning, and omitted the butter.

This is a really good sauce, but as written it would have been too spicy for us – I reduced the hot sauce by half, and only used 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (homemade blend that was pretty spicy to begin with!), and I added about 1 tsp. liquid smoke totally by mistake (was making two recipes at once and got mixed up), but it worked so well in this! Used this for chicken, but I can’t wait to try on ribs.

We liked this sauce thou it was a little thin

Made as is except put 1T cajun seasoning not 2 b/c my 8 year old and myself don’t like too much spice …..we love this sauce!

excellent!!!!!!

I’ve made this sauce several times and it always turns out great! It was especially good on grilled ribs. I prefer to use 1/4 cup of brown sugar. My whole family loves it. We love the spicy kick to it!

Yummy! I left out the hot sauce, cajun seasoning, corn starch, water & butter. Sauce was thick enough without it.
