Put It On This
Start Here, Then Get Weird
Can't Miss
Chicken & Wings

The profile can add contrast without overpowering seasoned meat, vegetables, salsa, or tortillas.
Also Great
Wild CardGrilled pineapple
Char and caramelized fruit can pull forward the sauce's sweeter fruit notes while the chile keeps the pairing from becoming flat.
