Greetings, dear readers of the magazine! To make BBQ chicken, we need BBQ sauce. And today we will look at how to make a delicious, hot, spicy glaze for chicken thighs at home.
Barbecue is a method of cooking food, most often meat, over smoldering coals. Barbecue cooking is impossible without sauce. So, if you are going to bake something delicious at the dacha, then this recipe is for you.
Let's make the sauce at home and take it with us for the barbecue. We use it as a marinade and as a regular gravy for various dishes. Meat, fish, chicken baked in barbecue sauce turn into a delicacy, look appetizing and are eaten in a matter of minutes.
The composition of barbecue sauces is quite diverse, and everyone, starting to experiment, adds something different, but still there are 4 main varieties:
- mustard (Mustard) - in this version the main ingredient is mustard, the rest is to taste;
- pepper-vinegar (Vinegar and pepper) – vinegar, seasonings and pepper predominate;
- light tomato – has a thick and delicate consistency, not very spicy, with a slight tomato sourness;
- Heavy tomato – spicy, concentrated, bright tomato and sweet.
Let's look at the “game with ingredients” in more detail in the Other recipes section. Now let’s start preparing the classic sauce, which is very tasty to dip French fries in and cook chicken thighs with it. There is a constant debate about which recipe is classic, hot or cold? Today we will look at the hot method, because most people cook and eat it this way. This is a popular, delicious, beautiful sauce. It will turn out spicy, piquant, just wonderful!
Other recipes
- With cumin and onion
Heat olive oil in a frying pan, add finely chopped onion and garlic, simmer until tender and add sugar, salt, cumin, chili powder. Then add Worcestershire sauce and simmer for another 1 minute. Add crushed peeled tomatoes and 2 types of vinegar: wine and apple. Turn the heat to low and simmer, preferably covered, for another 25 minutes until everything is well reduced. Then the mass must be cooled - and you can serve. Cumin will add its own flavor, and onion will add density. It will turn out unusually tasty, be sure to prepare this option!
- With garlic and honey
To the classic recipe, add liquid honey and fresh garlic, passed through a garlic press. The taste will immediately change, since honey and garlic always take away from the taste of the finished product. But, believe me, you will not regret if you add honey - the viscosity will increase and the taste will improve. I like it better with honey, what about you?
Oh yes, this sauce does not need to be boiled, just pour it into a plastic bottle and shake very well until the salt dissolves. All components will shake and exchange flavors. It's delicious, try it!
- Tomato
Add pureed fresh tomatoes to the fried onions. Peel the tomatoes and grind them in a blender. Then add all the other ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. You will get a thick Heavy tomato. I think the more fresh tomatoes, the tastier. They will, of course, boil down, but the bright aroma of tomatoes and spices will still remain. I like this particular option, simply because I love tomatoes. It is delicious!
- Spicy
Let's prepare this version based on hot ketchup and add 2 pods of peeled and chopped chili pepper. Usually mustard, salt, wine or apple cider vinegar, sugar and seasonings are also added. The end result is a very spicy sauce with an exquisite piquant note. Of course, you can’t eat a lot of it, but if you use the exquisite seasoning in moderation, then the pleasure of eating is guaranteed.
- Mustard
This golden yellow unusual barbecue sauce is very easy to prepare. Take a glass of mustard without any additives, half a glass of brown sugar, ground black pepper, balsamic vinegar, butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. The sauce is great for pork, it is spicy, fiery and at the same time tender and jelly.
- Instead of tomato paste, you can use ketchup in cooking.
- It is better to prepare it several days before use and leave the finished product in the refrigerator. This will give it time to open up and thicken.
- Store the sauce in a cool place for 10 days, it will only get better.
- Choose the consistency yourself. It can be a viscous thick substance or an absolutely liquid seasoning.
- If you are cooking from fresh ingredients, which is possible, it will take much longer to boil the mixture.
- If the sauce is very thick, dilute it with water and whisk in a blender or whisk.
- For an unusual barbecue base, you can take 2 cups of Coca-Cola and 2 cups of ketchup and boil it down.
- There are 2 types of barbecue sauce: hot (collected from the main ingredients and boiled down) and cold (collected in a bottle and shaken all the ingredients). Sauce prepared cold is not stored for long, it must be used immediately, hot - it is perfectly stored in the cold for 10 days or more.
- When cooking pork or beef steaks, brush them with sauce 10 minutes before cooking. If you grease them at the very beginning, the crust will burn and the steak will become completely dry.
- When baking chicken thighs and wings, grease them twice, the second time 7 minutes before cooking, so the crust will be more beautiful, and the chicken meat itself will remain juicy inside.
Benefits of the sauce
We love sauces so much that we often choose not sauce for food, but quite the opposite. Sauces add variety to our food, we get pleasure from it, they are healthy and very tasty, if you do not exceed the limits of reason.

Cooking features
Experienced chefs know how to make barbecue sauce especially tasty and aromatic. Luckily, they don’t keep it a secret, and any housewife can master the skill of making barbecue sauce at home.
- BBQ sauce will taste better if you use fresh tomatoes to make it. However, before this, they must be cleared of skin and seeds in order to subsequently grind through a sieve or beat the pulp alone in a blender. In this case, the sauce will have a more uniform and pleasant consistency.
- Spicy herbs can add unusual shades to the sauce, but they can be added only in moderation so that they do not interrupt the taste and aroma of the sauce itself.
- Barbecue sauce, which has a slight smoky flavor, will go very harmoniously with fried foods. In this case, even dishes fried in a frying pan will seem like they were made in nature. This flavor will be imparted to the sauce by commercially available liquid smoke. However, this ingredient is not considered useful, so you can add it just a little.
- Classic BBQ sauce is very spicy. If there are people in the company who are contraindicated for spicy foods, or children, it is better to choose an adapted version of the sauce, which does not contain too many hot ingredients, such as Worcestershire sauce or cayenne pepper.
- If you pour hot sauce into a gravy boat, when it cools it will become covered with a not very appetizing film. To prevent this from happening, its surface can be greased with a piece of butter.
Homemade barbecue sauce is much tastier and healthier than any store-bought sauce, so it makes sense for every housewife to learn how to make it with her own hands.
