5 Alarm Hot Sauce

This 5 Alarm Hot Sauce is flavorful and spicy – a fantastic hot sauce for hot wings or topping this 5 Alarm BBQ Chicken Chop Chop Salad.

Do you have a favorite casual go-to restaurant?  Ours is a local wing place that makes the best crispy hot wings.  Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside…and HOT!

Sold by the pound, you can spice them any way you like them or switch it up and mix-and-match flavors.

My absolute favorite is their hot & spicy 5 Alarm Hot Sauce.

If you love sauces that go beyond a few splashes of Frank’s Red Hot or Tabasco, you’ll love this 5 Alarm Sauce, because it’s loaded with extra spicy goodies like habaneros, jalapenos, red pepper flakes, horseradish, cayenne and cumin (and the list goes on)!

Not in the mood for hot wings?

That’s fine too!  This sauce goes great as dressing on a salad, a philly sandwich, a big juicy burger or even cheese fries!

In celebration of my favorite sauce (5 Alarm!) and the month of May (the 5th month!), I’ll be bringing you at least 5 new recipes that highlight this tongue teasing, tastebud tantalizing, habanero-jalapeno-horseradish hot sauce.   And, if you love your hot sauces extra-hot like I do – this may become your new go-to recipe!

p.s. if you haven’t caught on by now, this sauce is hot…proceed with caution!

Try it with our 5 Alarm BBQ Chicken Chop Chop Salad!

Enjoy!
