In a small or medium-sized saucepan, combine all ingredients except chicken stock and whisk together to combine.
5 Tablespoons tomato paste, 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons honey, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon ground mustard, 1 teaspoon table salt, ½ teaspoon ground pepper, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Gradually whisk in chicken stock until completely combined.
1 cup chicken stock
Turn stovetop heat to medium-low and whisk occasionally until sugar is dissolved (about 3 minutes).
Increase heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until barbecue sauce is thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Note that the sauce has a tendency to splatter as it cooks and thickens, to keep your kitchen tidy and your skin and clothes unscathed, you can place a lid crookedly over the pot, leaving a gap on one edge for steam to escape.
Allow sauce to cool then use as desired or in any recipe where barbecue sauce is called for.
