A smoky, tangy barbecue sauce with a balanced blend of vinegar, lemon, and spices, perfect for enhancing grilled meats and chicken for casual gatherings or family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Season meat or chicken to taste with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Mrs. Dash, and Cavender's Greek seasoning.
- Set aside until the sauce is mixed.
- Preheat oven to 325° to 350° (depends on cooking time for your personal oven).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of brown sugar or molasses to the barbecue sauce, which can enhance the sweetness. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a suitable substitute. Experiment with the level of hot sauce based on your spice tolerance, or use a milder sauce for a gentler kick. This sauce is versatile enough to complement meats in dishes like Venison Delight.
Serving Suggestions
This barbecue sauce is perfect for slathering on grilled chicken, ribs, or pulled pork. Serve it alongside American recipes like coleslaw or cornbread for a complete meal. It also pairs wonderfully with dishes such as Overnight Cabbage Salad for a refreshing crunch. Consider offering it as a dipping sauce for appetizers like chicken wings or meatballs.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When reheating, use a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently to maintain its consistency. If the sauce thickens too much, you can add a splash of vinegar or water to restore its original texture before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this barbecue sauce in advance?
Absolutely! This barbecue sauce can be made several days in advance. In fact, allowing it to sit in the refrigerator for a day or two helps the flavors meld beautifully. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container and give it a good stir before using it.
Is this sauce suitable for vegetarian dishes?
Yes, this barbecue sauce can be used for vegetarian dishes as well! It works well with grilled vegetables, tofu, or even as a marinade for plant-based proteins. Just ensure that the Worcestershire sauce you use is vegetarian, as some brands contain anchovies.
How spicy is this barbecue sauce?
The spiciness of the sauce can be adjusted to your liking. The amount of hot sauce you add will determine the heat level, so start with a small amount and taste as you go. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can omit the hot sauce altogether or replace it with a sweeter barbecue sauce.
