Homemade Barbecue Sauce on Grilled Chicken

I appreciate the convenience of store-bought sauces, but when I have a little extra time I prefer to make my own. Usually homemade foods cost about 1/4 of the price of store-bought versions and they have the added advantage of being customizable to our own preferences for sweetness, saltiness and spiciness.
This homemade barbecue sauce is such a breeze that you may never buy BBQ sauce again! You can use this glaze on chicken, pork chops, ribs and fish, or even on top of a baked potato.
We like to use this barbecue sauce on grilled chicken. To get the best results when grilling, start with a clean grill: While the grill is hot, clean off any cooked-on bits of food with a grill brush/scraper combo, as this will result in better flavor food and less-sticky grates. After you clean it, you may want to oil the grates with a paper towel coated with vegetable oil.
What types of sauces do you prefer to make at home rather than buying at the store?
