Haunted Heat BBQ Sauce is a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce from Lickety Nick that lets the burn creep in slow, so the heat truly haunts you on the back end.
How to run it
Sauce it right.
- 01
Cook the protein most of the way naked. Sauce is a finish, not a marinade.
- 02
Brush or mop it on in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Let it tack up over the heat. Watch the sugars, they scorch fast.
- 04
Hit it again at the table. That's the coat that counts.

Haunted Heat BBQ Sauce is a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce from Lickety Nick that lets the burn creep in slow, so the heat truly haunts you on the back end.
Lickety Nick builds Haunted Heat on deep smoke and raw Ohio honey, then lets ghost pepper move in behind the sweet. It runs about an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale, so respect the bottle. The honey and smoke land first and keep it honest, then the ghost pepper shows up and lingers.
Brush it on late in the cook so the honey sets without scorching, or set it out as a dipping sauce for the brave at the table. A little goes a long way once the heat builds.
