This NEW Hot Ones Sauce Is BADA-BOOM! (Newks)

Newks is officially on Hot Ones Season 31, and today I'm reviewing their brand-new BADA-BOOM Calabrian Chili Piccante Supremo Hot Sauce! Newks is no stranger to Fire & Flavor. I've reviewed several of their sauces, and I've even had Jake from Newks on the podcast. Now they're hitting a huge milestone with BADA-BOOM making its way onto the Hot Ones table. BADA-BOOM combines Calabrian chili paste, red bell pepper, red wine vinegar, carrots, roasted garlic, Carolina Reapers, habaneros, basil, and black pepper. That sounds like a really interesting combination of savory Italian-inspired flavors with some serious heat coming from those Reapers and habaneros. In this review, I'm trying BADA-BOOM straight first to see what the sauce itself brings to the table. Then I'm coating a few Puritan Backroom chicken tenders in it to see how it actually performs on food. 🔥 How hot is BADA-BOOM? 🌶️ Do those Calabrian chilies still come through once the Reaper heat kicks in? 🍗 And most importantly, how does it taste? Huge congratulations to Jake and everyone at Newks for making the Hot Ones Season 31 lineup! If you've tried Newks before, let me know your favorite sauce in the comments.
