BBQ Rib, Chicken or Roast Sauce

This is my favourite saucy topping for ribs, chicken, roasts.... my fingers. :)  I really do love the taste of it!  It comes from A Year of Slow Cooking.

Tonight I plan on using this on top of a small round roast.

BBQ Rib Sauce

3-4 pounds ribs

1 large yellow onion, sliced in rings

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Kosher salt 

 1 (12-ounce) bottle chili sauce (in the ketchup aisle)

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (read labels for gluten. Lea & Perrins, made in the USA is GF)

4 chopped garlic cloves

1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce

1/4 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

The Directions.

Place the sliced onion in your pot, then put the ribs back in. Combine the dried ingredients: brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.

Now combine the wet ingredients: chili sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Tabasco, and Liquid Smoke. Pour this mixture evenly over the top of your ribs.
