Notes
You can use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar. Increase molasses by a tablespoon..
Don't have chipotle chili powder? Substitute regular chili powder. If you do this, use smoked paprika instead of sweet paprika so you still get the smokiness that the chipotle chili powder adds.
Try using smoked paprika instead of regular sweet paprika for an extra smoky bbq sauce.
If you want to make this with no ketchup, substitute all tomato sauce. Add some extra vinegar and/or sugar to compensate for the flavor of the ketchup. Let your taste buds be your guide.
