This tasty barbecue sauce is perfectly fit to use for ribs, burgers, chicken thighs, turkey legs or any other hearty meat you like to cook on the grill. Here, we used regular soda as the base because its sweetness nicely balances the kick from the ground spices. Using the diet version will lower calories but the flavor won’t be the same. Also, make sure you use pure chile powder and not chile mixed with oregano and cumin. Once cooked, the sauce will keep in the refrigerator for about a week so you can make it ahead of time and if you’d like.
