- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar until well mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the ketchup, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into the dry ingredient mixture until fully incorporated.
- Simmer the Sauce: Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan, place over low heat, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, stirring until smooth to make a slurry.

- Cool the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool down before serving or storing.
Notes
- Stir often to prevent the sauce from burning while simmering.
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper quantity to control the spice level.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- If the sauce becomes too thick after cooling, stir in a little water to reach desired consistency.
