Nice easy sauce! It had a lot of flavor, with a bite of tang and heat from the peppers. Thanks for sharing! Culinary Quest '14

Yummy, spicy dip! I upped the red pepper to a full teaspoon, and we really enjoyed this on roasted chicken. Thanks Annacia!

This is how barbeque should be made. Of course, I am from NC and this is a great sauce for pork. I poured this sauce over a Boston Butt and placed it in the crockpot for all day. Wonderful!
