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, and will take you less than 20 minutes to assemble from start to finish.
