I’m not knocking the jarred stuff, but there’s something extra special about homemade BBQ sauce. This recipe is not only easy to make—it’s great on everything (grilled chicken, pizza, and even nachos). I went with a Kansas City-style recipe here, which means it’s thick, slightly sweeter, and perfectly tangy. It’s my go-to—I never go without a jar in the fridge.

The best part about making homemade BBQ sauce? It couldn't be easier to create. Simply add all of your ingredients to a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking everything together until well combined.
Once everything is combined, bring your mixture to a boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer until it has thickened. While it is simmering, make sure to give it the occasional stir.
Once it's thick (this should take around 45 minutes), let it cool until it reaches room temperature, and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Remember that the sauce will thicken as it cools, so don't feel like you need to keep simmering until it's the perfect consistency.
Homemade BBQ sauce, when stored properly in the fridge, can keep up to two weeks in the fridge and up to 2 years in the freezer. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and you should be good to go!
