For a smoother sauce, consider using a fine mesh sieve to strain out some of the pepper flakes after the resting period. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your desired heat level. Remember, the flavor will intensify as it sits. This sauce is best used as a mop sauce during the last hour of cooking or as a finishing sauce. Avoid applying it too early, as the vinegar can toughen the meat. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
