Serrano Chile: Limited Time. Lasting Burn.

Our new Serrano Chile wing sauce brings bold, bright heat without sacrificing flavor. It’s herbaceous and perfect for heat-lovers who want more than just mouth-melting fire.

This isn’t your average mild salsa pepper. Serrano peppers heat level are hotter than a jalapeño (about 3x), and in wing sauce form, it’s even more amplified. Add that to crispy, fried, grilled or smoked wings, and you’ve got a limited-edition flavor that leaves a lingering burn and zero regrets.
