Every winter, Costco sells a seasonal raspberry chipotle sauce that is AMAZING!! You can use it in so many ways – brush it on grilled chicken, pour it over a brick of cream cheese and serve it with crackers, use it as a salad dressing mixed with a little vinegar and oil… it is so versatile and so delicious!  But because it is a seasonal item, you can only buy it at Costco during the winter. And Amazon has it, but it’s not cheap.

In an effort to recreate this sauce so I can use it year round, I did a little experimenting. First, I tried mixing some raspberry jam with some BBQ sauce and it was pretty good, but not tangy enough. Next, I tried a recipe I found online and there were a TON of ingredients. It tasted close, but the time and money it took to make wasn’t worth it. The last thing I tried was swapping out the raspberry jelly for a can of cranberry sauce and mixing that with some BBQ sauce.

…and it was a match made in heaven!!!

This BBQ Cranberry Chicken recipe is as easy as they come! It literally uses two ingredients that you can keep in your pantry and pull out at a moment’s notice. It’s full of flavor, both sweet and tangy, and will totally knock the socks off your family and friends. Want to give it a try?! Here is how to make it –
