Kickass BBQ Sauce

Ahhhhh summer… It’s all about the grilling for me this time of year. I just love being outside and cooking. And, this Kickass BBQ Sauce takes grilling to the next level! It’s flavorful, smoky, tangy and has just the right amount of kick to it. You’re gonna love every bite.

What makes this BBQ sauce so awesome:

• It comes together really quickly
• You can use it on everything grilled
• It keeps for a long while in your fridge
• It has just the right amount of kick

I typically make a really large batch of this sauce because my family loves it so much and I slather it on everything in the summer – chicken, burgers, ribs, and use it as a dipping sauce. My kids like a decent amount of spice, I must say (this secretly makes me proud for some reason!) and this sauce has just the right amount of it. Of course, you can always add more by adding more chipotle chiles – why not?! I say go for it!

Get some cooking and let me know what you think!
