How to Make It
    Make the Sauce
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion and red onion and cook, stirring, until golden, 11 to 12 minutes. Add the brown sugar, mustard powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, stirring to incorporate.
  2. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits on the bottom, 1 minute. Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, honey, and ¼ cup water.
  3. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until thickened, 11 to 12 minutes, adding additional water by the tablespoonful to loosen if necessary. Remove and discard the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme, then remove half the sauce and reserve for another use.
