How to Make Easy Orange Chili Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight before using. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
