CopyCat Burger King BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, optional
2 tbsp water, to thin, as needed

Directions

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and whisk until smooth.

Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low.

Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Taste and adjust — more vinegar for tang, more brown sugar for sweetness.

Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce thickens as it sits. Serve or store in an airtight jar.
