High Desert Sauce Co. on Chicken Tenders: The Pairing I Had to Test

Today on Fire & Flavor, we are taking on a massive 4-bottle lineup from High Desert Sauce Co.! Zac's creations have graced the Hot Ones table multiple times, and today we are running the heat gauntlet from Mild to Wild to see exactly what makes his Southwest-inspired flavor profiles so incredible. To properly test these, we start on the trusty spoon before absolutely drowning the legendary coconut-breaded chicken tenders from the Puritan Back Room in Manchester, NH. 🌶️ The Mild-to-Wild Lineup: • Co-conspirator (1/5 Heat): A bright, fruity collab with Food Conspiracy Co-op featuring pineapple and chiltepins. • Smoky Chiltepin (2/5 Heat): Pure premium taco sauce with smoky, garlicky, "Mexican marinara" vibes. • Date Night Adobo (3/5 Heat): An amazing Southwest profile using dates, cinnamon, ancho, and habaneros. • Ghost of Saffron (4/5 Heat): A fast-building, heavy-hitting collab with Brian Ambs (@brianambs) featuring ghost peppers, scotch bonnets, and saffron. @HDSC 00:00 - Intro & High Desert Sauce Co.
