This has just enough bite to be great without being overpowering. We have used this recipe for about 20 years.
Made with items right from your cupboard. Mix all together after you have sauteed the onion, simmer to blend flavors. Cool and refrigerate.
This is a wonderful thick sauce that I use with chicken tenders and it really makes them plump and juicy when baked. We like them better than fried tenders. Don't use this sauce for dipping because it may be too strong to do so.
I have a son with colitis. He can't eat beef, so he eats a lot of chicken and turkey. Barbecue sauce is one of his favorite things to put on poultry, but almost all store bought bbq sauces have a base of vinegar, a big no-no for him. Too much spice is also bad. Id appreciate any bbq sauce recipes that don't use acids or a lot of spice. Garlic and onion are OK. He also loves peach mango salsa, so some fruit is OK. Molasses and teriyaki are OK, too. A small amount of mustard is fine, but not too much. Thank you.

I don't have a recipe, but try rolling your own.
Looking at the last few lines of your post, it seems that you have a pretty good start on the ingredient list. On the assumption you want a tomato based sauce, try subbing lemon or lime juice for the vinegar. Most tomato based sauces are heavy on the sweetener. Both molasses and brown sugar are popular. Add either to some tomato sauce along with sauteed onion, garlic, and bell pepper, (finely chopped) then simmer at a low heat.
Both of these recipes call for ketchup, but if he can't have ketchup, you can substitute tomato soup or tomato sauce.
Here is a recipe that only uses 2 ingredients, ketchup and a can of cola.

Here is a recipe with just a few ingredients, only 1 tbsp. vinegar, you could leave that out.

I hope these are the type of recipes you are looking for. Best of luck in your search.
I haven't tried this personally, but it might help. 1 10 3/4 ounce of condensed Tomato Soup, 2 Tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Stir together and use when you grill your chicken.
This is a delightful blend of flavors! If you're using it to cook in the oven or slower cooker instead of grilling, just add a drop or two of liquid smoke for a grill flavor.
I want to make a homemade barbeque type sauce, but not super sweet. I have ketchup without corn syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic and onion powders, hot sauce, and a few other things that might work. I don't want to waste the ingredients just mixing things.

Start with one cup catsup. Put in bowl. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or white sugar and a 1/2
teaspoon molasses if you don't have brown sugar. Add 1 tablespoon cider vinegar. Add very tiny dab
I am suggesting the smallest amounts so that if you don't get it the way you want, it's not a waste of ingredients.
But barbeque sauce is catsup, brown sugar, vinegar, onions or onion powder, dry mustard or some other kind.
Tinker with it; it should come out acceptable.
I've made this recipe before and it was a delightful blend! You can reduce the recipe by half the first time you make it, so as to not be wasteful if you don't like it, and you can substitute the cayenne with your hot sauce. You don't have to refrigerate for a day before using but it does taste much better if you do. ;-)
Missouri Barbecue Sauce
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool before storing in an airtight container and refrigerate for a day to let the flavors blend.
Homemade is better and less expensive than store bought ;-) Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan and simmer over a low heat, uncovered for 20 minutes.
