Habanero BBQ Sauce

Submitted by CoCaShe

"I found this recipe on PepperFool.com and tried it when I had some extra habanero peppers and a craving for something spicy. I use it to baste chicken, pork or beef on the barbecue, or on burgers, although it is a bit spicy. I'm going to try it next with dark rum instead of water for some extra flavour. Remember to wear gloves when handling the habanero peppers, the smell and burning stay on your fingers for a LONG time!!"

What's there not to love 'bout this sauce? Easy to put together, most ingredients on hand, easy to obtain ingredients if necessary, It is spicy, but not so much so you will be crying. It is a perfect compliment for chicken, seafood, or even beef, or ribs. I followed this exactly, didn't change one thing, and the taste was outstanding. I used this on shrimp, and also basted a turkey leg in it for another recipe for later in the week. This was a thick, wonderful sauce that was easy to apply to the item using the sauce, and was loved by all. Thank you so much! Made for *Hot and Sppcy Photo Game* Juen 2009

5 stars, but what is the point of adding hot sauce to hot sauce? I made it exactly as called for, minus the addition of extra hot sauce. Now, MAYBE if you had a SPECIFIC sauce to add for flavor, but to generically say "hot sauce" doesn't really help anybody. But still very good.

This is a great recipe! I doubled it and increased the worcestershire sauce to 1/4 cup, used fresh garlic and added an extra habanero. I also canned this to have it keep a little longer! Doubling gave me 3 16 oz ball jars. We had this on chicken wings right away and the sauce did not drip off in the grill but clung to the wings. I am not a huge fan of wings but this sauce has changed my mind. Yum!

I use Sriracha Sauce as the hot sauce (found in almost any grocery store in the asian/ethnic isle), I also use an additional habanero because i like more heat and add a splash more vinegar for some additional tang. I make sure to chop up the onions and peppers extra fine. Excellent sause.

This sauce is awesome. I substituted honey for molasses and it turned out a little thinner but the sweetness was terrific. It has a zip to it that sneaks up on you. Awesome sauce, thanks everybody.
