Sticky barbecue sauce

This recipe makes a delicious, sweet, sticky barbecue sauce with a kick. Add some finely chopped fresh chilli in when you cook the onion to spice it up even more.

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely diced
5 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp honey
4 tbsp water
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
3-4 drops of Tabasco

Slowly fry the onions and garlic slowly in a little vegetable oil until they are softened but not coloured.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.

The barbecue sauce is now ready to be used either as a marinade or as a dip.

For sticky barbecue chicken wings, marinade the wings in the sauce for at least half an hour. Then barbecue, grill or fry the wings and continue to baste them with the remaining sauce until they are cooked. Also try with sausages and spare ribs, served with potato wedges and homemade crunchy coleslaw.
