Recipe - Asian-Style Marinade

Use these ingredients to turn your favorite bottled barbecue sauce into an Asian-style marinade.  The cayenne adds plenty of heat so if you don't want it too spicy leave out the red pepper flakes.  You can get a nice crusty coating if you sear the meat quickly before switching to your normal grilling method, since the barbecue sauce probably contains sugar.
