Make The Hottest Chicken Wings With Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce

By Rena Hudson


Sauces add flavor, texture and color to any dish. There are different sauces that one can enjoy with different dishes but some are firm favorites. For instance, there are many sauces that can be served with chicken. It is ghost pepper wing sauce though that is the favorite of many.

There is a basic version of this sauce but over time, people have adapted it to their taste by varying the ingredients. Those who love it like it for the hot taste it gives wings. Chicken wings are a popular starter and accompaniment with drinks at bars. It is also a popular snack at games.

Following the basic recipe is quite simple. What is needed is eight chili peppers, two ghost peppers, two cups of vinegar, two teaspoons of salt and teaspoon of ground black pepper. The first step is washing the peppers after which should be dried with paper towels. Handling the peppers is best done with gloves because they are hot enough to get your hands itching. Should your hands get near your eyes, they will be left itching.

Trim the stems on the peppers. Remove the seeds and also membranes and discard them. Slice the peppers up then put them in a blender. Put in the black pepper, two cups of vinegar and salt. Blend the mixture on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.

This basic recipe can be altered to alter the taste. For instance, you can choose to lighten the tang of the peppers by adding pineapple and cinnamon. This is known as the pineapple ghost pepper sauce. Other variations are mad dog 357, Danny Cash Fallen Angel and heartbreaking dawns 1841 ghost pepper sauces among others.

For those who cannot stand the full heat of ghost peppers, there is the option of making it a bit sweet. The sweet variety has a little sugar, honey, butter, vegetable oil or olive oil and ketchup. This takes the edge off the hotness of the peppers and so that the sauce is a bit sweet. Another way you can add a bit of sweetness is by adding in some fruit pulp. Some people prefer peaches while others add apples whose flavor goes well with that of vinegar. Ripe mango also works well.

You may prefer a smooth sauce that does not have bits of pepper in it. If so, you only need to strain it. Use up what you need which is best served hot then let the sauce cool and save the rest in a glass jar. Keeping the jar lidded will help to preserve it for longer. Keep it in the refrigerator and it will keep for two weeks without going bad.

Apart from putting it on chicken wings, ghost pepper wing sauce can be used on burgers, ribs and other kinds of meat apart from chicken. You can also add it into stews and other dishes. It can be served on the side in a condiment holder so that people can add as much or as little as they want considering how hot it is. You can pour it over the wings or other dish that you are serving it with.
