Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce Ingredients:
This Jack Daniels BBQ sauce recipe is a favorite of my friend Brad Korber, a self-proclaimed foodie and recipe enthusiast. It’s simple to make and uses common ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry or can easily find at any grocery store.
The key ingredient in this sauce is 1/2 cup of Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. While you can try other whiskeys, there’s a reason why Jack Daniels is the best-selling whiskey on the planet. It adds a unique flavor to the sauce that you won’t get with other brands.
In addition to the whiskey, you’ll need 1/2 cup of plain BBQ sauce (such as Kraft Plain BBQ Sauce), 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne pepper for a little kick, and optionally, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar for some tanginess. The cayenne pepper can be adjusted to your taste preference, so feel free to add more or less depending on how spicy you like it.
To make the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, simply mix all the ingredients in a medium pot or saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, making sure all the ingredients are well mixed and there are no lumps. Be careful not to bring the sauce to a boil; you just want it to simmer.
Once the sauce has cooked and cooled down, transfer it into squeeze bottles or another airtight container for storage. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
Instructions:
1. In a medium pot or saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (such as Kraft Plain BBQ Sauce), and 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper. Optional: add 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar for tanginess.
