Memphis Style BBQ Sauce

Description

This Memphis barbecue sauce starts with a sweet and tangy base, a hallmark of the style. The honey, brown sugar, and ketchup provide the sweetness, while the vinegar and Worcestershire add a sharp tang. The subtle heat from the cayenne and the smoky flavor from the BBQ rub round out the profile, creating a complex and well-balanced flavor.
