With the barbecue season in full swing I was wanting to add something new in the way of barbecue sauces - the ingredient list had me know this one would add variety to those already in my collection - and it did! A really great BBQ sauce! Made as posted using the optional Louisiana hot sauce - loved the addition of the lime juice and zest. Thank you for another of your recipes that has been added to my collection. A recipenap for the Aus/NZ recipe swap #30.

I made this exactly as directed, using a Vidalia onion and La Preferida Louisiana hot sauce, and used it with a mixture of chicken drumsticks and thighs. This was an amazing barbecue sauce. I love what the lime juice and zest do for the flavor. Thanks so much for posting it, Gerry!

Baby Kato wonderful barbecue sauce recipe! I didnt have any shallots so I just used one medium onion and 3 cloves of garlic since they were small. The flavors in this sauce are great, a little sweet along with tang and zip. While the sauce was simmering for 15 minutes I added some frozen meatballs. They were wonderful!! Thank you for posting this recipe, cant wait to try it on chicken or ribs.
