Chili Pepper BBQ Sauce Recipes
Chili Peppers
Hot barbecue sauces are great if you enjoy “kickin it up a notch” as Emeril Lagasse would say. Now Jalapeno is by far NOT the hottest pepper out there. In fact, it’s one of the milder hot peppers available. So if you are ready for really hot barbecue sauce you might want to try some of the Habanero barbecue sauce recipes. If not, and you are just venturing into the land of HOT, then this is a great place to start.
If you haven’t made hot sauces before and you don’t know how much heat you can take, you might want to try one of the recipes with the least amount of peppers or just cut down the amount of hot peppers in any of the recipes and ease into it! Hot dishes are definitely an acquired taste. Not many people come out of the womb ready to eat the hottest food around! So, be careful, be adventurous and definitely give some of these hot and spicy barbecue sauces a try and see how you like them!
