No one does BBQ like Kansas City. This is a BBQ sauce that is Kansas City Style. This sauce consists of many ingredients and all of them come together to create a delicious sauce for the grill. The sauce is simply prepared on the stovetop and simmered for about 30 minutes. Most of the ingredients you probably already have on hand. You can use this BBQ sauce for a variety of different meats but I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. Enjoy.
