Description

This homemade BBQ sauce features a complex blend of bacon, honey, chili sauce, and toasted pecans. Brightened with orange and lemon zest and juice, it offers a sweet, tangy, and spicy flavor profile. Perfect for glazing grilled chicken, pork, or ribs, this sauce is best served after a brief chilling period to allow the flavors to meld.

Directions

  1. Combine the seasoning mix ingredients (black pepper, onion powder, white pepper, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne) in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan, fry the bacon over high heat until crisp.
  3. Stir in the onions, cover the pan, and continue cooking until onions are dark brown but not burned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the seasoning mix and cook about 1 minute.
  5. Add the stock, chili sauce, honey, pecans, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon rinds and pulp, garlic, and Tabasco, stirring well.
  6. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Remove orange and lemon rinds.
  8. Continue cooking and stirring about 15 more minutes to let flavors marry.
  9. Add the butter and stir until melted.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool about 30 minutes.
  11. Pour into a food processor and process until pecans and bacon are finely chopped.
  12. Use this sauce to BBQ chicken, pork, or ribs.
