Ingredients

  • 1 cup Gates BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (adjust to heat tolerance)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk Gates BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Yes, this is your flavor foundation—don’t skip this step.
  • Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed and your kitchen smells like a backyard snack bar.
  • Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. If it tastes flat, splash in a little vinegar; if it’s too sharp, add a touch more brown sugar.
  • Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes to let the flavors mingle. Don’t boil hard; we’re aiming for a glossy glaze, not a volcano.
  • Use immediately as a glaze or sauce for grilled meats, or cool and store in the fridge for up to a week. Pro tip: warms up nicely on a chicken wrap, too.
