Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups cold low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar, such as demerara
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. hot sauce such as Frank's® RedHot
  • 2 tsp. hot paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 2 tbsp. 35% heavy cream

Directions

  • To make the roux...
    In a medium pot over medium heat, add butter. When melted, add flour and whisk the ingredients constantly for about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in cold chicken broth, whisking constantly until well incorporated.
  • Add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, hot sauce, hot paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; whisk well and increase the heat to high.
  • When it boils, reduce to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • About 5 minutes before time is up, add heavy cream, whisk and cook for the remaining time.
