Ingredients: Chile de Arbol Pepper Mash (Red Chile de Arbol Peppers, Vinegar), Water, Apple Cider Vinegar, Kosher Salt, Garlic, Turmeric
Pears, mustard and ghost peppers may seem like an unlikely flavor combination (especially for wing #2!), but boy does it work. The crispness of the pear comes through early with just a hint of creeping ghost pepper spice. Season 25 is off to a hot start!
Smoked onions are the first ingredient in this jammy, sweet-and-savory-and spicy sauce made with tomato, molasses, tamarind and spices. The deep, caramelized flavors complement the brighter spice of habanero pepper for a craveable sauce with just-right heat.

A Jamaican-inspired spice blend of ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, thyme, and cloves give our #6 sauce its signature jerk flavor, brought home when combined with the citrusy heat of Scotch Bonnet peppers - a Jamaican staple. Extra virgin olive oil gives a rich texture that also makes it ideal for marinating chicken!

It’s that time… while you may be looking for a distinctive short bottle, this version created with the makers of Beyond Insanity is a tastier, all-natural take that’s equally harrowing. Careful around the eyes!

Made with over 90% Pepper X, aka Guinness Book of World Records’ hottest chili in the world, The Last Dab Xperience is just that - a full-body experience. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
