About This Recipe:
BBQ sauce always brings me back to childhood summers, and I wanted to experiment with making my perfect BBQ sauce. There are some amazing BBQ sauce options at the supermarket, and I love McDonald’s BBQ sauce, but this spice rub + BBQ sauce combo is my at home go to. The base of many BBQ sauces are fairly similar, so it’s just about customizing the ratios to suit your personal preference. There isn’t great BBQ near me, so this definitely hits the spot.
Enjoy!
