Sweet Chili Molasses Barbecue Sauce (+ video)
Why buy barbecue sauce when you can make your own, in just a few minutes?
Getting your weekend barbecue off to a flying start can be as simple as having a really great barbecue sauce on hand. Of course you can buy the sauce, but why not make your own? This classic Sweet Chili Barbecue Sauce is quick, easy and has the kind of made-from-scratch flavor that will make your barbecue favourites taste extra delicious.
We love this Sweet Chili Barbecue Sauce slathered on burgers, chicken and as a final basting sauce for ribs.
It will last for a couple of weeks in the fridge so make a double batch and leave it in your fridge. A jar of this sauce along with the recipe makes a great gift for your backyard grill kings and queens.

This is very hot!

Hi Matthew, I hope it wasn’t too hot to eat. I usually find it quite mild so I have to ask you what brand of chili powder you used (most chili powder blends are about 1/8 cayenne pepper). Or may be the heat came from the chili sauce. Did you use Heinz? Let me know where you think the heat came from so I can flag it in the recipe.
Betty Ann
hi, re the chili powder in this recipe, is that chili seasoning or powdered hot chilis?
thank you
Crosby Molasses
Hi Betty ann, the recipe calls for chili powder seasoning, any brand will do

Looking forward to making the BBQ sauce, it has great ingredients. If you don’t mind me asking, I am intrigued also with what looks to be a chipotle corn salad in the photo above. Would you please, also share this recipe? Thanks!

This sounds like a great way to kick start the barbeque season. I’m not great at the barbeque either but love the smells and it’s a great way to relax after a long day at work.
Will let you know how my cooking works out. ;)
