There is not exact measurements to this sauce, but to give you an idea here is how Lexi made it:
Mix- 8 tablespoons of brown sugar, a few shakes of cayenne pepper, onion powder, cinnamon, salt and pepper and then a few squirts of ketchup, agave, and mustard. Mix it up and then add around 1/4 cup of water to liquefy. Taste and then add more of what you think makes it taste better. Lexi's Awesome Sauce had a sweet taste with a tiny bit of pepper.
'Lexi's Awesome Sauce' can be topped on almost anything. We topped it on our chicken, corn and then the next day we topped it on our cheeseburgers. It's such a wonderfully sweet sauce with a bit of tang.
How wonderful that Lexi makes the sauce for the chicken... and better yet, She knows how to do it. The sauce sounds wonderful and I may be making it soon too. I love that she used agave to sweeten.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha.. I loved that she sweetened it so I could eat it!
DeleteThat sounds like it has quite a kick to it. I love things with a little spice!
ReplyDeleteme too! I love a bit of spice
DeleteIt's so great that she participates in preparing food for the family. It's a great way to prepare her for being independent and cooking for herself when she grows up.
ReplyDeleteWith such strong skills she can put to work some day making her own special sauces and opening up her own store someday when she's older. That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteShe knows how to make sauce! That sounds like a keeper and like something I need to whip up too!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet sauces and this looks like a good little recipe. She really looks like she enjoys the kitchen and will have a better handle on meal prep than most.
ReplyDeleteawe, she is adorable! And I bet that sauce truly is awesome!

Awesome Sauce looks really delicious. This is something that I could try and I would have it over chicken or perhaps over a grilled burger.
ReplyDeleteThat would actually be awesome on a burger!
DeleteLexi's sauce looks amazing! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems like a BBQ based recipe. I love that it's sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that Lexi made the sauce it sounds really good :).
ReplyDeleteI may try Lexi awesome sauce for my chicken, I make for the kids! The fact that she knows which ingredients to use, shows your skills as a mom...Awesome job mom!
ReplyDeleteLexi's sauce sounds and looks awesome! Great job Lexi, I'm pinning for later!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! She must be very creative if she's already "designing" sauces! Cool!
ReplyDeleteI would never have guessed it to be sweet with the Cayenne pepper. I will have to give it a try, I am not sure I have ever had a sauce with those ingredients, especially cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteOh yum - my family loves drumsticks so I'm going to have to try this. I'll probably even get my son to help!
ReplyDeleteThis looks excellent! I'm going to pin this and let my 7 year old try to make it. My kids love to try to make new things.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your blog tagline! lol
ReplyDeleteLexi's sauce looks amazing. I would try to let my 10 year old make it but I could see the other children trying to "help" and my kitchen turning into a disaster.
ReplyDeleteWow what a creative recipe! I want to see how the heat goes with the agave. Sounds delicious! She should bottle that up with a cute label for holiday gifts!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a delicious recipe. Such a creative girl!
ReplyDeleteLexi is super ambitious to create this recipe. I love that it can top so many foods. :)

ReplyDeleteI love grilling chicken. This sauce recipe sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome sauce for sure! Lexi has got some culinary talent!
ReplyDeleteI love that she wants to get in the kitchen and come up with her own recipes like that. Mine is just now learning to pop popcorn in the microwave, so yours is light years ahead of mine in the kitchen!

ReplyDeleteThat is such a unique combination of ingredients! I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI do no know many kids that would cook anything with cayenne pepper, mustard, agave, and cinnamon. What a clever girl and hats off to the parents that help shape her taste sense :)
ReplyDeleteI gotta admit, I don't know that I would have put those together. It does sound like it could be pretty tasty though!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I have never had a sauce like this your daughter has some skills.
