I love me a good BBQ sauce and I am extremely proud of this one in particular. A good honey BBQ sauce is all about balance and most of the ones I’ve tried don’t have the balance that I am seeking. The majority seem to have too little honey or entirely too much. I created this sauce to have a balance between a traditional BBQ sauce and honey.
This goes amazing with chicken, chicken wings and all types of poultry and pork. Use it for anything that you would use BBQ sauce to baste or dip in.
