Honey-Lemon Chili Barbecue Sauce
Honey-Lemon Chili Barbecue Sauce is a unique combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. The soft sweetness of honey, the refreshing acidity of lemon, and the spicy power of chili create a perfect balance. This sauce goes perfectly with grilled meats, burgers, and roasted vegetables. It can be a great addition to a summer barbecue party or a weekend family dinner. If you want an even richer smoky flavor, try it with a little extra smoked paprika or chipotle chili.
