The Chicken Sandwich Wars continue to rage with various chains out there throwing out all sorts of fancy new offerings to make an impact (including Taco Bell’s upcoming chicken “sandwich”), but there are some longtime players in the game that are worth seeking out. And the Spicy Chicken from Jack-in-the-Box is one of those. Following is the official description of the sammy from the chain’s website:
Spicy crispy all white meat chicken...
I am a big fan of the original Cholula and consider it one of my go-to sauces. However, I must confess that I have not often reached for the different varieties of hot sauces available from that company. I have tried the Green Pepper and Chipotle versions and liked them well enough, but they never found their way to my permanent rotation like the original. Recently, I noticed the Sweet Habanero flavor (which may have been around for a while and...
I’m always buying hot sauce and/or receiving it as a gift, so the bottles start to stack up in the pantry. This is a recipe that I have come up with to use up some of the sauces that have been sitting there for a while, and it delivers a very tasty snack. Ingredients 16 oz Raw Sunflower Seeds (Unsalted)
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/3 Cup Hot Sauce (See Below)
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Season Salt...
McDonald’s has brought back their Spicy Chicken McNuggets and Mighty Hot Sauce, and even though I am no fan of McNuggets I decided to give them a try. Mostly I was interested in the Mighty Hot Sauce, though that failed first time around because they were out. I was persistent, though, and did manage to get some of that on a second visit. Here are the descriptions provided for both on the McDonald’s website:
Spicy Chicken McNuggets: Breaded...
El Yucateco is a Mexican company that started small way back in 1968 but has since grown into a worldwide brand with its hot sauces widely available. They make several varieties of hot sauces, and I have enjoyed all of the ones I have tried. But the one that I always have in the pantry is the XXXtra Hot Habanero Sauce. This sauce is a blend of habaneros, tomatoes, and seasonings, and for me it strikes the perfect balance of taste and heat. It...
A couple of weeks back I posted a review for Paqui’s Haunted Ghost Chili chips, which I found to be quite tasty and which definitely bring the heat. I mentioned then that I wanted to try some of their other flavors and I have since picked up a bag of the Zesty Salsa Verde chips. I can now say that this company is two-for-two on tasty tortilla chip choices. They have a taste somewhat reminiscent of green salsa, aka salsa verde, which you would...
I happened to be on the northwest side of Houston this past weekend visiting family and took the opportunity to check out some of the small breweries in the area (there are actually quite a few in about a ten-to-fifteen-mile radius from where I was). One of the ones that I stopped into was Twisted Acre Brewery on Grant Rd., and I decided to give their Jalapeno IPA a taste. Now despite the fact that I am a lover of spicy food, I’m not a big fan...
I decided to take a detour from the typical crispy, fried spicy chicken sandwich and try the new deli meat spicy sammy that Jimmy John’s just put out. This was largely because I was stuck at the office with nothing but a five-year-old expired package of noodle soup, so delivery was the better option. But I also knew this had been added to the menu and thought this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Following is the blueprint for the...
I have been seeing the Yellowbird brand condiments mentioned on a regular basis of late (Where? At r/HotSauce. Where do you spend your spare time?) and decided that it was time to try these out. They are referred to as condiments instead of sauces because of their thicker consistency, similar to ketchup. The flavors available, in order of heat level, are Jalapeno, Serrano, Blue Agave Sriracha, Habanero, and Ghost Pepper, and I decided to start...
With the Chicken Sandwich Wars currently in full force, Texas-based burger slinger Whataburger has brought back its spicy chicken sammy to contend with the other chains that are upping the heat as well. This version is “new and improved”, now featuring a brioche bun. The sandwich includes a spicy chicken breast filet, a slice of tomato, whole leaf lettuce (none of that shredded stuff that ends up under the seats of your car), pickles, and...
