My sister and I used to call this “Secret Sauce #1” when we were little kids because we loved sneaking spoonfuls when our mom wasn’t watching. “Secret Sauce #2” was the beginning of the brownie batter before she added the eggs. We just couldn’t get enough of either! This sauce has basic ingredients, but they come together like magic! We use this barbecue sauce primarily for chicken.
