Chef's tips

Chill the sauce in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the flavors blend together. Change the amount of chili sauce and hot sauce to suit your taste.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

Reheating

Serve cold; not reheated.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Serving the sauce immediately without chilling it first to let the flavors develop.
•Using too much garlic powder, which can make the sauce taste bitter.
