To marinate meats, generously coat ribs, chicken, or pork with the sauce and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, or preferably several hours in the refrigerator. For grilling, brush the sauce onto food during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to create a caramelized crust. It can also be stirred into chili, stews, or baked beans for an extra layer of smoky heat. For a quick flavor boost, use it as a sandwich spread or a dip for appetizers.
