Tired of buying barbecue sauce in a bottle? Homemade bbq sauce not only tastes better but you control the ingredients that go into it. The recipe is a classic version of a homemade barbecue sauce. If you like it more on the sweet side you can stir in 1-2 teaspons of honey.

Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe for Chicken
1 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
3/4 to 1 tsp. Pink Himalyan Salt
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
* optional – 1-2 tsp. of Honey
Place all of the above ingredients into a medium sized sauce pan. Simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
You can use it right away to season the chicken or let it cool down and refrigerate it. I like to let it cool down a little bit. Then I pour it over the chicken and refrigerate the seasoned chicken for a few hours to allow all of the flavors to infuse.
Heat up the grill. Place the seasoned chicken onto the grill. Flip the chicken over 1/2 way through the cooking process. Continue to cook until the chicken is done. I recommend using a digital meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature on the chicken is reached. Remove chicken from the grill and serve immediately.
