For an even deeper smoky flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika to the BBQ sauce. If you prefer a sweeter BBQ sauce, increase the amount of brown sugar to your liking. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to control the level of spiciness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
