On average, a tablespoon of barbecue sauce has 425mg of sodium. There are slim pickings when it comes to a store bought low sodium barbecue sauce and it is not always easy to find. I decided to create my own that is sweet yet smoky and extremely versatile. Pour it over some chicken wings and throw them on the grill, smother it on some baby back ribs or even pulled pork sandwiches. Don’t feel guilty with this easy to make homemade tangy barbecue sauce.
