Spicy Barbecue Sauce

Spicy Barbecue Sauce

EverydaySweetened

Spicy barbecue sauce is a sweetened tomato-based condiment enhanced with chili peppers or hot sauce for pronounced heat. Its thick, sticky texture comes from sweeteners like sugar, molasses, or honey, which balance the fiery elements while contributing to its high sugar content. Commonly used as a glaze for grilled meats or dipping sauce, this style of barbecue sauce typically contains significant sodium and may include smoke flavoring to mimic slow-cooked charred dishes.
