I had a request from my niece, Lindsay, for my barbeque sopping sauce. My son, Adam is going to make barbeque chicken for his roomates tomorrow night and I guess he told Lindsay about it. It is a real yummy sauce. It's good on pork too. I usually use the Homade Brand chili sauce for it. It has a nice texture and the flavor is just right. If you can't find this brand, other brands work just fine. My Easy Corn Bread recipe is great with it. The cornbread recipe is easy to double. Make plenty because everyone always wants seconds.
Barbeque Sopping Sauce
1 ½ cup Homade Brand Chili Sauce or your favorite brand
½ cup cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon horseradish
½ cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 stick unsalted butter
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Cook all of the ingredients in a 3 qt. saucepan. Heat through to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar. Keep warm.
Serve on grilled chicken or pork. Cook the meat on the grill until done. Brush the sauce onto the meat a few minutes before removing it from the grill, just to warm it up. Serve the meat with more warm sauce on the side.
Easy Cornbread
1 ¼ cups flour
¾ cup yellow cornmeal
½ tsp. Salt
¼ cup sugar
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8”x8”x2” pan with PAM. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix together until just moist. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with butter and honey. It's also fabulous with grape jelly.
I like this recipe because I can measure everything using only a 1/4 cup measure and a set of measuring spoons. When I double it I use my 1/2 cup measuring cup to measure most of the ingredients and then bake it in a 9"x13"x2" pan. Quick and easy cleanup.
There you go Lindsay. Thanks for the request :)
