This tangy and slightly spicy Carolina-style BBQ sauce is perfect for enhancing the flavor of pulled pork or any grilled meat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar and light brown sugar.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth sauce.
Add the kosher salt, spicy ground cayenne pepper, and freshly cracked black pepper to the mixture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before use.
Letting the sauce rest allows the flavors to meld together.
Use the sauce to enhance the flavor of pulled pork, grilled chicken, or any barbecue dish.
Brush the sauce onto meat during the last few minutes of grilling for a caramelized finish.
