Supreme BBQ Chicken Sauce

I've tested numerous BBQ sauce recipes and when it comes to grilling chicken, this is by far the best. My best friend gave it to me about 6 years ago. I don't know where she got it and the only tweek it needed was to half the sugar. Oh, and if you don't normally like to use hot sauce, try a teaspoon anyway. I don't care for obnoxiously hot BBQ sauces and the amount called for gives this sauce just the right amount of tang.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup ketchup
• 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar
• 1⁄3 cup cider vinegar

• 3  tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 -2  teaspoon  hot sauce

Directions

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a sauce pan.
2. Heat just to a boil.
