How people cook with it
This sauce is a versatile condiment for grilled, baked, or pan-fried foods. It can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce.

To use this sauce as a marinade, coat your meat or vegetables generously and let them sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For grilling, brush the sauce onto your food during the last few minutes of cooking to create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
