How to Make Honey-Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Many experts believe mustard-based barbecue sauces are more compatible with grilled food than tomato-based ones. This sauce is very easy to whisk together, and goes especially well with grilled chicken and pork.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/3 c. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp. whole-grain or stone-ground mustard
  • 1/4 c. vegetable oil
  • 1/3 c. dark honey
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. minced green onion (optional)
  • Groceries
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Wire Whisks
  • Mixing bowls
  1. Step 1

    Place the mustards in a mixing bowl and whisk them together.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk in all remaining ingredients until well-blended.

  3. Step 3

    Season with cracked pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Brush this sauce on grilled chicken or pork about 3/4 of the way through cooking time. Because the honey will scorch and burn, it can't remain over direct heat for long. To use this sauce effectively, start brushing it on when there's only 5 to 10 minutes left of cooking time. Brush more on as it caramelizes, and you'll create a deep tasty glaze.

Tips & Warnings
  • Honey is a fascinating ingredient, almost entirely dependent on the type of flower the bees use. Look for darker honeys, preferably unpasteurized and unblended, which have a much bolder flavor.
  • An optional addition is 1/4 c. orange marmalade - sounds strange, but it will make the flavor more complex.
