One bold BBQ sauce…

There’s a lot of delicious earthy flavors in this smoky espresso BBQ sauce. Obviously the espresso is the named star, but the smokiness here is delivered by one of our favorite chilies: chipotle pepper. Chipotle (smoked, dried jalapeños) has a deep, spicy smokiness that is just pure yum with rich earthy flavors like espresso or cocoa.

Smoky Espresso BBQ Sauce

Try this BBQ sauce with pork and beef. It works best with these richer meat meats. With grilled chicken, it tends to overpower the flavor of the white meat.
