Chef Chie's Notes

This recipe is inspired by Sweet Baby Ray's and named after Chie's sweet baby, Ray.

Make sure to use the lowest heat setting on your stove. The times above work for our gas stove at home, but may differ depending on the type of stove you have. Keep an eye on it! Use a non-metal mixing utensil to protect your cookware from any scratching.

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate after use. Chie recommends repurposing a thoroughly washed BPA-free vessel for your homemade barbecue sauce, whether that be a mason jar, Bonne Maman jar, or a glass Pyrex container.
