Barbeque (BBQ) sauce is a liquid condiment that, as the name suggests, is served along with barbeque foods. The consistency of the sauce can vary from watery to very thick. In Bourbon barbecue sauce, bourbon (a type of distilled spirit, made from corn and generally known as American whiskey) is used as the key ingredient. Best consumed along with poultry, beef and pork, the sauce can also serve as a dipping item for fries as well as a liquid flavoring for barbeque-style pizzas. Instead of buying a bottled Bourbon barbecue sauce from the supermarket, you can prepare it easily at home as well. Check out the recipe given below and know how to make Bourbon barbecue sauce.
