Fantastic! Great recipe, however I did make a couple changes. I used tomato paste instead of ketchup, used fresh minced garlic instead of powder, and did not use the crushed red pepper because my serranos were hot! I also added the serranos in the sauce. Marinated and used as dip to grilled steak. Served with grilled brussel sprouts.

Not bad, I marinated all day and doubled the sauce. Served with rice and broccoli and red peppers.

I've been using this recipe since June, don't know why I have waited so long to leave a review, in fact I believe this is the first review I've ever posted on Yummly. Long time user, first time reviewer ;) Because of quality of this sauce recipe we no longer purchase bbq sauce. We use this recipe on bbq chicken pizza, bourbon BBQ burgers, pork, it's amazing! Hands down, this is the best recipe I've found for homemade bourbon BBQ sauce. I quadruple all of the ingredients and refrigerate it in a dressing bottle, it stores well for weeks. We use Makers Mark for the recipe and although the peppers in the recipe are for dressing the chicken, I actually use the Serrano peppers in the sauce, just rinse and drain the seeds from the peppers. This recipe transforms overnight in the fridge and the flavors marry well. A second transformation happens on the grill, drawing out the sweetness of the brown sugar and tanginess of the bourbon and vinegar. The sauce is sweet, tangy, a little tart and pleasant on the palate with an aftertaste you hate to wash down with a drink. Thank you SO much for delivering this recipe to us!
