Kinder's BBQ Sauce Recipe
The main specialty lies in its balanced smoky sweetness and gentle tang, creating a rich glaze that clings beautifully to food. Smoked paprika adds depth, while garlic, onion, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce bring savory character.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Heatproof spatula and whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup about 272 g tomato ketchup
- ¼ cup 55 g packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons 45 ml apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup Kinder’s Original BBQ Sauce
- 1 teaspoon 2 g smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon 3 g garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon 3 g onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon 0.5 g freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons 6 g cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons 30 ml cold water
Instructions
Step 1
- Add the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Kinder’s Original BBQ Sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and a small pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and has reduced slightly.
Step 3
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until completely smooth. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking constantly. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened.
Step 4
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight container and use it for dipping, glazing, or serving with your favorite barbecue dishes.
