This recipe is very good. I made it with chicken thighs, since that's what I had on hand. I also added a chopped onion. I also plan to try this sauce with pork country style ribs. This sauce is an excellent alternative to bottled BBQ sauce, which can be overly sweet and thick.

This is a very tasty recipe. You can also make it with chicken thighs. I also will switch up the mustard, using some honey mustard along with the yellow mustard.
