We've also added some red pepper flakes for a little kick, but if you like things a little spicier, go ahead and up the dose. Perhaps our favorite thing about this recipe beyond the flavors is that there is no need to prep ahead of time. Just mix all of the ingredients together and you're on your way to one tasty dinner-any time of the yearOne of our favorite ways to use this watermelon barbecue sauce is as a marinade for chicken, pork, fish or shellfish.
