- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke.
Step 3
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Slowly add the water to thin out the sauce slightly. Stir until the consistency is smooth.
Step 5
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Step 6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary—add more brown sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or cayenne for extra heat.
Step 7
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Use the BBQ sauce as a marinade, basting sauce, or a condiment for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
