Mustard BBQ Sauce
Mustard BBQ sauce is a tangy, no-cook sauce originating from the Carolinas and Georgia, traditionally used to enhance the flavors of white meats. It’s made with simple ingredients like dry mustard powder, honey, and white wine, whisked together to create a rich, slightly thick sauce. With just 5 minutes of prep time, this sauce is ready to serve, adding an irresistible layer of flavor to chicken, pork, or even as a condiment for sides and snacks.

Cooking Tips for Your Mustard BBQ Sauce:
- Balance Flavor: If you prefer a less tangy flavor, adjust the ratio of honey to mustard. Adding a bit more honey will mellow the sharpness of the mustard.
- Texture Check: Whisk thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. This emulsification helps the sauce cling well to meats.
- Storage: This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week in an airtight container, making it easy to prep ahead of time.
- Serving Suggestions: Try this mustard BBQ sauce on grilled chicken, pork chops, or even as a dip for veggies or pretzels for a zesty snack.
- Acidity Adjustments: Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra acidity if desired, or try apple cider vinegar for a subtle flavor twist.
- Heat Option: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to taste.
