The basic ingredients in a barbecue sauce are pretty simple: a generous dose of ketchup, smaller amounts of vinegar, and a selection of flavorings. Here we use apple cider vinegar and brown sugar to develop a rich, complex flavor; cumin and paprika add a twist to what you’d find in a traditional barbecue sauce. For this recipe, you separate the dry rub and the liquid glaze, which helps you avoid any burning or flare-ups while still delivering all the flavor you’d expect. And best of all, it takes only about 10 minutes to cook.
