By Rena Hudson


Food is all about taste, color and texture. Sauces add all this to any dish. There are several for every kind of dish but there are some sauces that have become clear favorites. For example, there are sauces that are made for serving chicken. Out of all of them, ghost pepper wing sauce is the darling choice for eating chicken wings.

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 off the peppers and remove and discard the seeds and membrane. Chop up what is left and put the slices into a pepper. Put in the salt, cups of vinegar and ground black pepper. Blend on medium speed until you get a mixture that is smooth and well mixed.

The basic recipe can be varied in different ways. One way to vary it is to add pineapple which adds a tangy sweetness. Additional spices like cinnamon are also used. Another variation is the Danny Cash Fallen Angel, heartbreaking dawns 1841, mad dog 357 ghost pepper wing sauces to name just a few variations.

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.

If you like a smooth sauce without pepper chunks, pass it through a sieve to remove this bits. Use what you need and decant what is left into a glass jar with should be covered with a lid. Preserve it in the refrigerator. It will keep well for at least two weeks as long as it remains in the fridge.

Aside from serving ghost pepper wing sauce with wings, ribs, burgers and other types of meat aside from chicken can also be served with it. A bit of it in stews gives it a kick of flavor. The sauce can be served separately. People can use as much of it as they can stand. Pouring it hot over wings is another way to serve it.
