"We've seen the popularity of spicy-hot foods in the US growing rapidly right along with people's enjoyment of ethnic foods. Americans are really opening up their taste buds to new and authentic flavors, and with the grilling season soon upon us, I wanted to add an organic BBQ sauce that wasn't just hot, but has a unique and flavorful heat," says co-owner and product developer Annie Christopher. "Chipotle peppers are a perfect choice, because they have a wonderful smoky heat that complements rather than overwhelms whatever you're cooking. And the special spice blend I created for this barbecue has the right balance of heat and flavor. We took our time and ended up with something pretty special."
Annie's Organic Hot Chipotle BBQ Sauce has a meaty texture that clings like crazy to ribs and just about everything broiled, basted, baked, and barbequed. With the smoky moderate heat of organic chipotle peppers and the fiery kick of a distinct blend of cayenne and spices, this thick and tomatoey BBQ sauce is great slathered on chicken, ribs, tofu, catfish; brushed on burgers and tempeh; and makes baked beans and meatloaf jump with flavor! It also makes a super dip for batter-fried veggies, chicken nuggets, and potato wedges.
