This Homemade Whiskey BBQ Sauce is so delicious and super easy to make. Serve it with some easy baked chicken tenders as a tasty snack.
I think my kid will turn into a chicken tender one of these days. He loves his chicken tenders and chicken fries and it’s always a safe meal to give him, it’s pretty much a guarantee that he will eat. It’s good for grandparents because he is picky about eating when he is with them. Luckily, for me, he will pretty much eat anything I put in front of him.
I don’t usually give him chicken tenders so he doesn’t get too tired of them, but once in a while I like to treat him to some nice homemade chicken tenders. They are easy, tasty and baked. I like to add some Parmesan cheese into breading for extra “yum.”
But as much as he loves chicken strips, he loves the dipping sauce even more. He loves ketchup and BBQ sauce only (not a fan of any white sauce.) I’ve actually caught him licking sauces out of the bowl after he was done with the chicken. I think it’s safe to say he likes it more than chicken.
I was a little unsure if he’d like this BBQ sauce since it’s whiskey flavored, but he love it! I loved it too and the whole jar is gone already. I’ve made some BBQ Chicken Ranch Calzones for the Super Bowl with this sauce and they were to die for! I’ve even been dipping pretzels in it.
It’s so tasty!
