I had some 14 Spice Dry Rub Mix that I made some time ago and wanted to make this sauce for some ribs I had in the freezer, and I made this sauce using the smoky option. Oh so delish! Can't wait to try the other options too!

I needed some bbq sauce for baked chicken and was all out, so I made this instead of going to the store. It is delicious and great on chicken. I added the liquid smoke and it made the chicken shine! Yummy!

I like how you can take the recipe and change it up by just adding an ingredient. Simple and handy to have! I just used my regular rub of brown sugar, yellow mustard, honey, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder and it was perfect!
