About

Kansas City is the sauce capital of the country, where they practically pave the streets with the stuff. In a town full of famous brand names, the late Otis Boyd made the best unheralded barbecue sauce in Kansas City. He didn’t pass around his recipe, of course, but our rendition is a tasty imitation.

Method

Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are tender and the mixture thickens, 25 to 30 minutes. Refrigerate the sauce overnight to allow the flavors to mingle and mellow. Use the sauce warm or chilled. It keeps, refrigerated, for a couple of weeks.
