Great tasting sauce, although I did make a couple of changes ~ I used just 2 teaspoons of chili powder & 2 drops of the hot pepper sauce, & that provided more than enough heat for the 2 of us! I used a bit of it on grilled burgers & the rest made up a test dip for a couple of chicken fingers! Outstanding both ways, & definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for posting it!
