  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • ½ cups Louisiana style hot sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 each chipotle peppers chopped
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Note: This BBQ sauce is very spicy.  We make it particularly for our ribs.  It is fairly thin compared to store bought sauce and is applied in as a light coating.
It provides a counterpoint to the sweet watermelon pickles that we serve with it.  Canned chipotle peppers in adobo are readily available in most supermarket Latin food sections.
