[quote=Anonymous]For future reference, quoting from Deadspin's food blogger:

Got a fire? Good. Walk away from it for a while. Mingle, drink beer, and also make barbecue sauce. Or, hey, use some bottled crap if you want (your chicken will still taste like heaven), but we're talking about how best to do it, so get a friggin' cereal bowl out of your pantry, raid the fridge, and make your own. You'll need tomato paste, mustard (brown or yellow: if you use brown, you might also want to add a splash of vinegar to your bowl), honey, a little bit of ketchup, a glug of olive oil, a splash of beer, and some sriracha (or other chili sauce that will not taste as good as sriracha because that is the way of things). Also a spoon. OK, and you can add some smoked paprika and cumin if you happen to have them around. Mix these things in your cereal bowl , tasting and adjusting in small increments until your barbecue sauce is thick enough to coat the spoon and tastes like good barbecue sauce, which is when you will know that it is good barbecue sauce.

(A note here: Sure, molasses is at least as good as honey if you have it; brown sugar is great, too; liquid smoke can be a nice addition if used sparingly; nobody's going to burst an artery if you add garlic powder or Tabasco or whatever-the-fuck, but don't go to the store for any of these things. It's my studied opinion that the best barbecued chicken thighs are the ones coated in a conglomeration of the sorts of things you have near to hand. A perfectly delicious barbecue sauce can be made from honey, what's left in that ancient jar of Grey Poupon in the door of every refrigerator on earth, and absolutely nothing else. Or tomato paste and maple syrup. Or sriracha and grape jelly. Use what you have. Unless you have Splenda packets and bug spray.)[/quote]
