How to use cola BBQ sauce
- Glaze late. Brush it on in the last 15 to 20 minutes so the sugar sets instead of scorching.
- Layer it. Two thin coats a few minutes apart give a deeper lacquer than one thick one.
- Pulled pork. Stir a splash through shredded pork with a little of the cooking juice.
- Burgers. Use it straight from the bottle as a smoky burger sauce.
