This is a great all purpose sauce that takes advantage of that special something you get from the 23 secret flavors that are combined to make Dr. Pepper. If you don’t want to take the time to reduce Dr. Pepper to syrup you can use Soda Stream’s Dr. Peter Sparkling Drink Mix.
I love this on chicken and often use it balance out spicy rubs on wings. It also makes a great condiment for burgers. Please let me know how you like it in the comments.
