Sriracha Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Homemade barbecue sauce is almost ridiculously easy to make and I can promise you that it tastes better than anything you can buy at the store. This is a spicy, rich, slightly smoky barbecue sauce that is perfect with beef, chicken, or pork.

A few weeks ago, my husband requested a bourbon barbecue sauce. We were making ribs and he wanted to dip them in a spicy sauce. I didn't get a single picture of the sauce at the time, because we ate almost all of it. I made this sauce again a couple weeks later for pulled pork and again, it disappeared before I managed to snap a photo.

This time I planned ahead and made the sauce early in the day, so that I could get a picture. I chopped up some roast chicken and tossed it generously with the barbecue sauce. We made it into sandwiches this time, but we've also stuffed saucy barbecue chicken into potatoes.
