How to Make Solo No Nonsence Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3-6 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness. If using alcohol (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon bourbon or whiskey), add it during the last minute of cooking.
  4. Remove from heat and brush generously over your favorite protein (like a single chicken breast) during the last few minutes of cooking. Enjoy!
