Need something to spice up your next chicken recipe? I personally have a hard time finding things that are spicy enough. My wife will be red in the face and crying while I shrug and say, “Eh…Its good. I just wish it was spicier…”
This sauce, though, brought it all for me. Full of sweet flavor and plenty of heat, I loved smothering our fried chicken strips in this sauce, but its great as a dipping sauce as well!
You’ll need to grab some habanero hot sauce, and we found the one we bought locally on Amazon! Its yummy on its own, and is a must have to add any sort of heat to your favorite sauces! Yellow Bird has a lot of other flavors I would love to try as well!
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango nectar
- Habanero hot sauce (to taste)
- 1 TBS corn syrup
- 1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce
- 1/3 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Combine mango nectar, corn syrup, and Habanero hot sauce to taste in a medium sauce pan. Heat through over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once ingredients are well combined and heated through, add cayenne pepper sauce and melted butter.
- Cook through until combined again. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness.
Try this on fried chicken (or air fried chicken if you’re looking for a healthier twist) . Need something not so hot? Try our Zesty Asian sauce!
